However, brachytherapy may cause urethral strictures in up to 10% of men. (Seeds may later be passed in the urine. They are radioactive, so they should be kept away from pregnant women, because the fetus may be susceptible to radiation-induced birth defects. The seeds can set off Homeland Security radiation detectors.) Cure rates 10 to 15 years after brachytherapy are similar to rates obtained with other treatments for some men. Combined treatment with brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy is sometimes recommended for more aggressive cancers.
There was once a thought that Israel has a massive nuke ready to destroy Washington if we don't support their evil ways. I always found that one amusing.

Why do they need helicopters to do this? Don't they have satellites that can detect radiation? What about devices on the ground?

NNSA is making the public aware of the upcoming flights so that citizens who see the low-flying aircraft are not alarmed by the helicopters conducting the tests.
So the flights have been taking place December 27, 2012 and it is January 6, 2013, but this organization is just now giving local citizens the heads up. Why? What stopped them from releasing the information before now?
...baseline levels can be established and used in security and emergency preparedness...

I agree.
The funny thing here is......Israel's Nukes are all technically owned by the US (The last count I heard of was in the mid to late 90's and they had 419 at the time).

ISRAELI EMBASSY IN NYC A RADIATION HOT SPOT

Feds surveyed NYC for radiation, found tainted park, Embassy
WASHINGTON -- Anti-terrorism officials conducted a helicopter survey of
New York City's radiation sources in preparation for a so-called "dirty
bomb" attack - and discovered a Staten Island park with dangerously high
levels of radium, a new report found.
Federal authorities found 80 unexpected "hot spots" around New York
City, according to the Government Accountability Office, the
investigative arm of Congress.
One alleged radiation hot spot on Manhattan's east side has the
potential for becoming a political hot spot: A strong radiation spike
from the area of the Israeli Embassy. Officials would not comment on why
they thought that particular area allegedly showed such a stunning peak
in radiation.

Can you back that up? That's interesting. How can they be owned by the US if Izzy built them and stores them in thier country?
The WC-135 aircraft is a modified C-135B. The Constant Phoenix's modifications are primarily related to its on-board atmospheric collection suite, which allows the mission crew to detect radioactive "clouds" in real time.
The aircraft is equipped with external flow-through devices to collect particulates on filter paper and a compressor system for whole air samples collected in holding spheres.
