Modern warfighters face various biological and chemical threats on the battlefield, from disease to potential manmade poisons, and they require more protective and innovative gear to keep them safe in the varied environments they encounter. When you think of a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protective mask, most people visualize one of the currently…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) was asked to provide information on the processes to render select RCAs as MDAS. Although the inquirer’s primary interests were in finding approaches outside incendiary ones, all discovered approaches were included in this report. HDIAC partnered with SciTech Services, Inc., to research this topic and generate a report on the various methods for rendering from agnostic…

This work will demonstrate how ubiquitous radiological characterization can take place throughout all nuclear facilities for all nuclear material (even those facilities the United States does not know exist). The presentation will detail how this technology is passively integrated into current and future nuclear facilities. The fundamental physics utilized for such grandiose claims are thermoluminescence,…
