Real Time Wide Area Radiation Surveillance System (REWARD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"We propose a novel mobile system for real time, wide area radiation surveillance. The system is based on the integration of new miniaturized solid-state radiation sensors: a CdZnTe detector for gamma radiation and a high efficiency neutron detector based on novel silicon technologies. The sensing unit will include a wireless communication interface to send the data remotely to a monitoring base s ...

European Network for Education and Training in Radiation Protection - II (ENETRAP-II)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"As is the case with all nuclear expertise, there is a trend of a decreasing number of experts in radiation protection due to various reasons. On the other hand, current activities in the nuclear domain are expanding: the nuclear industry faces a so-called "renaissance", high-tech medical examinations based on ionising radiation are increasingly used, and research and non-nuclear industry also mak ...
