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.

项目摘要/摘要--总体 该项目的总体目标是通过以下方式支持科罗拉多州的食品防御努力 建立能够监测人类和人类健康的放射分析测量实验室 动物性食品中含有放射性污染物。目前没有一家分析实验室 由科罗拉多州维护的放射分析测量能力 用于在日常或紧急情况下执行支持食品防御的测量 情况。科罗拉多州立大学的健康物理学项目由来已久 进行放射分析测量和放射化学分离的传统 培训和研究。最初的努力将集中在提供一个能够 监测食品样本中的伽马放射性核素，以支持食品防御(第1轨)。 同时，测量阿尔法发射放射性核素的能力(第2轨道)将是 通过利用CSU的现有设施和专业知识以及 健康物理学项目的教职员工。
