But the outfit was well-equipped with hand-held radiation detectors, full body suits with breathing hoods and ample supplies of potassium iodide, a preventive against radiation poisoning of the thyroid gland.
It may help to know that both the federal and state governments have radiation detectors located throughout California.

Anti-explosive robots and radiation detectors are also part of the stepped-up security detail.
Argentina, Italy and the United Arab Emirates said they were working to install radiation detectors to check cargo for fissile material.
Other stocks he owns involve teddy bears, radiation detectors and recreational vehicles.
The cameras also can be linked to license-plate readers and radiation detectors.
The system can gather data from security cameras, license-plate readers, radiation detectors and 911 calls and hunt through dozens of existing law-enforcement databases for related information.
To date, DNDO has, among other things, tested boat-mounted radiation detectors, detection equipment that can be carried in a backpack, and handheld radiological detection and identification devices that can withstand exposure to water.
That makes them difficult to detect, and means that neutrino telescopes have to be built underground to stop the detectors registering other forms of radiation by mistake.
ECONOMIST: This year, the Nobel authorities have shown a deft touch
The distribution of the detectors triggered allows the direction of the Cherenkov radiation, and therefore the flight direction of the muon, to be worked out.
However, such instruments are blinded by the intense infrared radiation emitted by flames, which overwhelm the sensitive detectors and limit their use in the field.
ENGADGET: Infrared holography lets rescuers see people through walls, fire, walls of fire (video)
These create large amounts of Cherenkov radiation, and can be identified because they trigger several widely spaced detectors.
Radiation from the flare was so intense it saturated the X-ray detectors on two spacecraft used by the U.S. government to determine the strength of the solar blasts.
