During a major international soccer tournament, Bertin Nuclear deployed its environmental radiological monitoring system to ensure continuous surveillance of event sites, addressing the rare but real risk of radiological threats. The IAEA actively encourages host countries to deploy radiological detection and monitoring ...
Radiation is an invisible yet critical phenomenon encountered in many industries, from medical diagnostics to nuclear energy and industrial applications. For professionals working in these environments, understanding how to measure and respond to radiation is essential. This is where radiation simulation devices play a vital role. These innovative tools provide a safe and controlled environment ...
The use of computer vision in radiology may have advantages for both patients and medical facilities. However, some worry that machine learning (ML) may one day replace doctors because it can outperform them. The desire for increased efficiency and efficacy in clinical care has been the primary motivating reason behind the development of AI in medical imaging. Recent technological developments, ...
The objective of the exercise was to coordinate with multiple agencies in the Bay Area for response to an attack on mass transit by a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) event and improve interagency cooperation. This included integration of the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) Coordinator into the ICS (Incident Command System) structure of the ...
The idea of a complete system from the same vendor might be attractive to a company that plans to service their own equipment using asset management and maintenance software provided by the equipment manufacturer, but this is short sighted. ...

The first stand-alone prosthetic iris has received regulatory approval in the United States. CustomFlex Artificial Iris (HumanOptics) is a flexible silicone device indicated for adults and children with congenital aniridia or iris defects due to albinism, traumatic injury or surgical removal. “Today’s approval of the first artificial iris provides a novel method to treat iris ...
To educate and protect people from using such lasers incorrectly – in a way that could cause injury – regulatory institutions have created a classification system that establishes the level of damage that the units can inflict on humans and animals. ...
The aim of this elaboration was to explore possible implications of the simplifications made within the system of environmental radiological protection in terms of the efficacy and robustness of dose‐rate predictions. A comparison was conducted between human radiological assessment and environmental radiological assessment for an ...
Iodine is one of the most hazardous fission products from radiological consequences of LWR. In this paper, the iodine source term has been evaluated for two–loop PWR under severe accident initiated due LOCA. ...
Summary Emerging in the early 80’s, decommissioning is more than ever a major issue since hundreds of sites and facilities worldwide will end their operations over the next decades. Decontamination and remediation projects are all the more sensitive since they could last several years and turn out to be highly costly if not well-prepared. The key lies in an adequate contamination knowledge ...
The Rhode Island Disaster Initiative (RIDI) is providing research in the areas of readiness, technology and training to address the significant gaps that remain in real-time medical response to events involving the use of weapons of mass destruction; terrorist use of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive devices; mass casualty incidents and toxic industrial chemical and ...
The risk equation has been implemented as the basis for a performance methodology for the design and evaluation of Physical Protection Systems against a Design Basis Threat (DBT) for theft or sabotage of nuclear and/or radiological materials. Since integrated systems must include people as well as technology and the man?machine interface, a ...
Orphaned sources may cause serious accidents as history has shown and in the past few years, attention for malevolent use of radioactivity has grown considerably. Firstly, this paper describes the context of the problem. We propose to introduce a scheme for the prevention of loss or abuse of sources. This programme includes administrative measures for strong sources, controlling mechanisms and ...
Shortly after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident the European Commission (EC) initiated various activities in order to make early notification and reliable radiological information available to the European Union (EU) Member States in case of nuclear accidents. The Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring (REM) group at the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) ...
This document describes data collection systems and procedures used by the US Department of Energy Aerial Measuring System (AMS) in response to a radiological emergency. The discussion is split into two parts: (1) those systems used on the fixed-wing aircraft and (2) those systems used on the helicopters. ...
This centre can provide emergency decision support information within minutes for a wide range of radiological, nuclear, chemical, and biological hazards from fires, industrial and transportation accidents, radiation dispersal device explosions, hazardous material spills, nuclear power plant accidents and nuclear detonations. ...
Illicit trafficking in nuclear and other radioactive material, which could be used for building a nuclear weapon or a radiological dispersal device, has been a subject of concern for more than a decade. A major obstacle to assessing the actual security threat due to nuclear trafficking is the inclusion in the analysis of incidents that do not represent a security threat, in the sense of being a ...
This paper will discuss terrorism from the perspective of a terrorist organisation acquiring nuclear material to build weapons and how security of radiological material world wide will minimise the risk of such devices being used. It will discuss the need to improve security at nuclear waste processing and storage sites and the adequacy of current security. It will also discuss the phenomenon of ...
This paper discusses certain significant changes in the US laws and regulations in the post-September 11 era regarding the export and import of nuclear and other radioactive materials, as well as related equipment. These changes demonstrate the US Government's growing vigilance concerning the movement and end-user of such materials and equipment in light of the intensified threat of their ...
