A Novel, Microscale, Distributable Sensor Technology for Ionizing Radiation
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: DTRA14B004Terrorist use of radioactive nuclear materials via nuclear and/or radiological dispersion devices (dirty bombs) is a serious threat. Therefore, it is crucial to detect proliferation of nuclear material. Critical challenges include: (a) high sensitivity detection of signature emissions from radioactive isotopes, and (b) cost-effectiveness for deployment of sensor networks across large storage facil ...
