Integrating Dosimeters for Homeland Security, Environmental, and Retrospective Dosimetry
2440-3 – Real-time radiation detection measurement methods are critical in situations where interception of these devices prior to a planned detonation or release of radioactive materials takes place as well as in the cargo screening areas and deployment of large radiation detection networks are highly desirable. University of Michigan researchers have developed a method for determining the... Read More
Neutron Irradiative Methods and Systems
2959 – There has been an increasing need to permit the quick, non-invasive, non-destructive analysis of the chemical compositions of materials, especially when such materials are concealed, such as illicit materials or explosives, or otherwise spaced a considerable distance from the detection system, such as to improve personnel safety in the event of an explosion. Thermal neutron activation... Read More
Louvered Area Detector for Radiation Spectrometers
1668-1 – UM File # 1668.1 Background In situ gamma-ray spectrometry determines the quantities of radionuclides in some source medium with a portable detector. The more established method of laboratory gamma-ray spectroscopy consists of taking small samples of the medium into the laboratory for gamma-ray analysis. In situ gamma-ray spectrometry characterizes a larger volume of material, requires less... Read More
Augmented Reality Radiation Display System
1677 – Real-time radiation detection is critical in situations where there is danger of exposure to non-background levels of energetic particles and ionizing photos, as well as in the monitoring and demonstration of safe work environments in nuclear power and radioactive waste and materials facilities. University of Michigan researchers have created a high-speed, three-dimensional,... Read More
