Brad, Palo Verde does not use the "drop and go" method and at this time I am evaluating the use of installed radiation monitors with telemetry around the site boundary and within the 10 mile EPZ. At present, I’m looking at either DRM-1s or RDS-31s in NEMA boxes. I've mapped out the telemetry area and will be using the WRM2 transmitters and some WRM2 and repeaters. I am looking at either solar panels with dry air batteries or possibly co-locating the monitor’s on siren poles with existing power.
