managing radiation risk is important, at least for "human factors". in fact we can easily detect radiation burst much before the radiation get dangerous, and even before they get above the crazy regulation of today. (regulation is totally off the reality, ignoring the now multiple proved threshold

If the released radiation is in the soft x-ray range, like 2KeV detection will be extremely hard. Even kw of x rays will be stopped by less than a millimeter of lead. I think it will hardly escape the powder itself. Did anyone tryto detect that? Takahashi suggested something around that wavelength
