In passive gamma scanning, the sample is rotated in front of a collimated detector at several axial increments while gamma spectra are collected. A more complex variation includes a pin-hole gamma camera and a charged coupled detector device to generate real-time images of the entire sample....

It can monitor an area within a kilometre or two of its placement, transmit data to a receiving station, and then return to the ocean floor to wait for the next event. The air-deployable buoy is a one metre long cylinder and weighs 11-kilograms. It contains batteries, a GPS [global positioning system] device and an Iridium satellite transceiver that can communicate over very long distances, and it is designed to work to a depth of 300 metres...
