A REMOTE AND REAL-TIME OPTICAL DETECTION OF ALPHA EMITTING RADIONUCLIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Radiological emergencies involving accidental or intentional dispersal of alpha-emitting radionuclides in the environment can cause significant harm to people and societies in general. A detection system for measuring large-scale contamination with these radionuclides is currently not available and new remote detection techniques which overcome the shortcomings of traditional detectors are needed.

​

IDEAS Science Ltd. is collaborating with the Remote Alpha consortium on a development project within the EMPIR (European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research) project frame. The 19ENV02 RemoteALPHA (19ENV02) project focuses on the application of alpha-radioluminescence technique to quantify large-scale contamination with alpha emitters in the outdoor environment. RemoteALPHA aims to develop new techniques and technologies that enable sensing of a radiological threat at safe distance.
