Yes, sniffer dogs can be trained to detect radioactive materials, although their primary capability lies in identifying specific chemical compounds associated with such materials. Dogs have an acute sense of smell and can be trained to recognize the scents of various substances, including those used in nuclear materials. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on the specific compounds and environmental factors. In practice, sniffer dogs are often used in conjunction with other detection methods for a more comprehensive approach to security and safety.
