Alaska and other far northern areas have special logistic, environmental, and economic problems that make radioluminescent (RL) lighting, particularly at airfields, an attractive alternative to electrical systems and flare pots. Tests and demonstrations of prototype systems conducted in Alaska in recent years have proved the basic technological worth of RL airport lighting systems for civilian and military use. If regulatory issues and other factors identified in these tests can be favorably resolved and if the system and its components can be refined through production engineering, highly useful applications for RL airfield lighting systems in Alaska and other remote locations can result.
