I know airborne and low orbit remote sensing systems can have spectrometry inclined sensors and there are geologically orientated sensors to sense Uranium and Thorium, but does anyone have knowledge of a sensor that specifically targets Cesium 137 or would that be on the verge of Classified technologies?
My wish is to study the biological accumulation of Radionuclides in plants and possibly surface landscape features. Thank You. :)

There's an unexceptional 512 keV transition which is utterly ambiguous, and then there's a 662keV photon.
That might be worth looking for.
And (naturally) there's nothing new here:

For *this* a spectrometer with a suitable detector (such as NaI(TI)) would be needed.
