Assuming only one rotor cracks, then the radiation is from one rotor IBIS and the detector electronics could detect radiation levels that ripple synchronously with the rotor speed.

The Strontium-90 is a beta radiation emitter.

  The external radiation level of the IBIS [is] 75 mR/hr at 12 inches in the failure (extended) mode.
