Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, the biological risk intensifies through ingestion or inhalation due to …

A Simple Computational Model for Particle Resuspension Behind a Normal Moving Shock
… conditions of an environment, such as after a dirty' bomb is detonated. This computational model is based on the 'Rock'n Roll' models of particle detachment by Reeks, Reed, and Hall. The attractive forces used in the model are based on measurements by Truman et al. (2011). The simplifying …

Interference Effects of Urban Rubble on the Radioanalytical Analysis of Strontium
… terrorist to obtain material for a so-called “dirty bomb”. Following an attack of this nature, it will be important to quantify the total amount of strontium dispersed and to determine if this is equivalent to known missing sources or some fraction thereof, indicating the possibility of …

Decontamination method comparison testing using simulated contamination
… dispersal device (RDD) or so-called “dirty bomb” contaminant to simulate fixed contamination on urban material surfaces. Over 400 individual decontamination tests have been performed with these simulants, using a range of contaminants (Cs, Zr, Am, Sr, Co) and substrates (steel, …
