- pixl97 8d agoWhy? It's not like it's gamma radiation.
- Johnny555 8d agoSince the radiation source is only exposed if it's indicating a potential main rotor crack, and it's not a very strong radiation source in the first place (so it's not like it allows long distance tracking), it seems like a minor risk -- if the radioactive capsule is exposed, the pilot is going to be returning to safe place to land. Beta particles typically only travel a few meters in air before they lose most of their energy.
