Inexpensive, disposable radiation detectors
SBC: NANOPTICS, INC. Topic: DTRA082007This proposal concerns the detection of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) by using large networks of small, inexpensive, and robust gamma detectors. These detectors will be deployed where consistent surveillance would be difficult by any other means, like remote mountain trails. The proposal describes a novel gamma detector that is extremely robust and inexpensive. The new scintillation material is ...

Range-Improving, Mid-IR Time Domain Spectroscopic Transceiver for SNM
SBC: Physical Optics Corporation Topic: DTRA082004To address the DTRA need for standoff detection and identification of special nuclear materials (SNM), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Mid-IR Time Domain Spectroscopic Transceiver (MI-TDST) system. The proposed MI-TDST device operation is based on capturing the characteristic signature of molecules in the environment surrounding SNM. Decomposition of these molecules (id ...

Directed Mono-Energetic Gamma Source
SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: DTRA08001For long-range active interrogation of Special Nuclear Materials, an intense beam of mono-energetic directed gamma rays is required. In Phase I of this project, RadiaBeam developed the design for such a source, based on Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS), and determined its feasibility. The key innovation in our source is a novel Interaction Region system design, which significantly increases the av ...

The Characterization and Mitigation of Radiation Effects on Nano-technology Microelectronics
SBC: ROBUST CHIP INC. Topic: DTRA082001Robust Chip Inc. (RCI) and Stanford University (Stanford) propose a project with two main parts: 1. Exploration and development of a combined layout and circuit design methodology for complete protections against both single and multiple single event errors with a minimal circuit and layout overhead. 2. Extension of a unique, combined circuit-substrate, modeling technique for radhard design in ult ...

Development of a Fully Time-Resolved X-ray Spectrograph
SBC: ALAMEDA APPLIED SCIENCES CORPORATION Topic: N/A"The Decade Quad/Half plasma radiation source (PRS) will provide environments to test the radiation hardness of critical military systems. Optimizing the Decade PRS will require a set of x-ray diagnostics that measure not only the net x-ray yield but alsothe temperature and density of the plasma that produces the x-rays. High quality spectral data are needed to derive the temperature and density. ...

Kinetic Fireball Incendiaries for Agent Defeat Missions
SBC: AGENTAI, INC. Topic: N/A"The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility and military utility of employing an innovative incendiary, based on state-of-the-art solid rocket propellant technology to defeat chemical and biological agents. This is accomplished byhighly effective convective heating of the interior of the facility to temperatures in excess of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for the extended period o ...

Transportable, High-Power, Repetitive Electron-Beam Generator for Emergency Radiation Sterilization Applications
SBC: Berkeley Scholars, Inc. Topic: N/A"Repetitive Pulsed Power technology using Repetitive Plasma Opening Switches(RPOS), as developed at the Kurchatov Institute, Russia, can be used forradiation sterilization applications in situations where standard techniquescannot be used. A relatively compact, inexpensive RPOS generator could betransported (by truck, for example) to a site where sterilization by electron-beam or x-ray irradiation ...

Fuel Cells for Arms Control Applications
SBC: Element One Energy Topic: N/A"Element One Energy has developed a novel solution to optimize the benefits and solve the challenges of direct methanol fuel cells. It is proven that a direct methanol fuel cell can be given a potential and used as an electrochemical methanol reformer(EMR). With a direct methanol fuel cell, modified slightly to be a producer of hydrogen, rather than to generate current, cross-over is no longer a ...
