ABSTRACT:
A method of utilizing existing fire panel infrastructure to fight terrorism. The fire alarm systems ionization type smoke detectors, in addition to detecting the presence of smoke, would also detect the presence of airborne radioactive particles by effecting only a minor software modification. This enhanced detection ability will enable existing fire panels, as well as standalone residential smoke detectors, to detect the presence of radioactive particles such as those that would be indicative of a deliberate terrorist attack from a “Dirty Bomb” or “Dirty Aerosol” release, or an non-intentional release of radioactive particles due to an accident or natural disaster.
