    A ThermoFisher identiFINDER was used at a recent radiological incident at a Brookhaven, NY, landfill and mistakenly detected the presence of reactor-grade plutonium. This triggered a call to the Department of Energy’s Radiological Assistance Program team, which used a more sophisticated high-purity germanium crystal detector to correctly identify lutetium-177.
