On the integration of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport analysis
… of this phenomenon is, in the aftermath of a Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) detonation, the resuspension of radioactive particulates from the resultant fallout field. Quantifying the spatial distribution of radioactive particulates allow for the calculation of potential radiation doses …

Reconstruction of the Spatial Distribution of Surface Activity Concentration for an In-Situ, Gamma-Ray, Truck-Borne Survey
In 2012, a radiological dispersal device (RDD) was detonated at the experimental proving ground of Defence Research and Development Canada, in Suffield, Alberta. The Nuclear Emergency Response Team of Natural Resources Canada conducted two mobile surveys to reconstruct the distribution of surface …

Protein Biomarkers of Ionizing Radiation and Standardization by MALDI MS/MS and Quantification
… oral test strip, called a lateral flow device, to triage victims of a radiological dispersal device or nuclear detonation. Mice were radiated with 2 Gy, 4 Gy and 7 Gy and sacrificed at 1 hour, 24 hours and 72 hours. Also, mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin (10 ?g) …

Utilization of aerial sensor platforms for characterization of land-based, distributed radiological sources for radiological event response
A method to characterize distributed radiological sources and the environment using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and commercial-of-the-shelf hardware and software was developed and implemented. High-altitude aerial surveys typically used for widespread distributed sources lack the spatial …

Decontamination method comparison testing using simulated contamination
Radiological decontamination of surfaces is challenging. Cleanup tasks are typically visual or even chemically measured, but radioactive contamination is invisible and measured at extremely low levels. Different contamination events have lead to the development of hundreds of decontamination …
