Methods for detecting, computing and disseminating location information of weapons of mass destruction

A method for determining the location of a radioactive device or chemical/biological hazardous material from which notification to a Public Safety Answering Point is made, the method comprising:

• receiving radiation signal information related to an emitting source from a mobile switching center;
• receiving a location request from a mobile switching center;
• sending radioactive signal information to a plurality of radiation sensor devices;
• receiving angular information from at least two radiation sensor devices;
• employing a triangulation method to calculate the location of the radioactive device or chemical/biological hazardous material;
• transmitting information about the location to the mobile switching center;
• obtaining geographical location information for the wireless transmission towers associated with at least two radiation sensor devices,
• wherein the step of employing a triangulation method further comprises
• determining a best pair of geographical coordinates by averaging geographical coordinates.
