i guess if a plane is flying in a plume of radioactivity, the radioactivity would concentrate worse than a stationary cloud on the ground. There should be a filter in the air intake to take out radioactive particles. Perhaps the solution is just, finer filters on the plane.

Hmmm, most of these radioactive elements are heavier than air, so it may be possible to spin the air, to throw out, or separate, the radioactive particles, from the air.

Next on-board aviation instrument; the Geiger counter.

i was thinking, it may be possible, but definitely dangerous,
to modify an old smoke detector, into a alpha-radiation detector.
(they work by ionizing the air in a chamber to conduct electricity, a particle of smoke causes the circuit to break, triggering the alarm.)

So, without the radioactive Americium, in the smoke alarm, the circuit would be blocked, but if another alpha emitter floated into that chamber, it would ionize the air and connect the circuit, and the incessant "beeping" would stop, showing that radioactivity in the air.

On a safer thought,
if there are radioactive ionizing particles in the air,
will smoke detectors still work properly?

Thanks!
Electronic radiation detectors are very expensive,
i knew there must be some other way.
