Project Summary/Abstract – Overall The overarching aim of this project is to support food defense efforts in the State of Colorado by establishing a radioanalytical measurements laboratory capable of monitoring human and animal food products for radioactive contaminants. Currently none of the analytical laboratories maintained by the State of Colorado have radioanalytical measurement capabilities that could be utilized to perform measurements in support of food defense in either routine or emergency situations. The Health Physics program at Colorado State University has a long-standing tradition of carrying out radioanalytical measurements and radiochemical separations for training and research. The initial efforts will focus on providing a laboratory capable of monitoring food samples for gamma-emitting radionuclides in support of food defense (Track 1). Simultaneously the capability to measure alpha-emitting radionuclides (Track 2) will be developed by drawing on the facilities available at CSU and the expertise and the background of the faculty in the Health Physics program.

项目概要/摘要-总体 该项目的首要目标是支持科罗拉多州的粮食防御工作， 建立一个能够监测人体的放射分析测量实验室， 放射性污染物的动物食品。目前，没有一个分析实验室 由科罗拉多州维护，具有放射性分析测量能力， 用于在日常或紧急情况下进行测量，以支持粮食防御 situations.科罗拉多州立大学的健康物理学项目长期以来 进行放射性分析测量和放射化学分离的传统， 培训和研究。初期的工作重点是提供一个能够 监测食品样品中的伽马放射性核素，以支持食品防御（第1轨）。 与此同时，将加强测量α放射性核素（第2轨）的能力， 通过利用CSU提供的设施以及 健康物理系的教员
