Realistic Accurate Dosimulation (RAD)

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的努力旨在大大提高辐射安全培训的现实性，为紧急反应，无论是第一反应，以及熟练的支持人员。目标是开发和评价真实的剂量学模拟或“剂量模拟”工具。这些“真实、准确的剂量模拟”（RAD）工具将成为有效的应急响应辐射培训课程的核心。这种剂量模拟概念采用了实时定位系统（RTLS）与现实的模拟剂量计集成。 复杂的软件算法生成虚拟辐射环境（VRE），为训练区域内的每个位置分配特定的剂量率。Dosimulation将RTLS中受训者的实时位置与VRE中的模拟剂量率相结合，以产生逼真的辐射剂量模拟。 他建议先进技术训练（ATT）提供一个虚拟现实模拟任何辐射紧急情况在一个特定的训练环境。 在拟议的RAD工作中，调查人员将实施一个动态和随时间变化的VRE，以模拟应急响应人员感兴趣的羽流和泄漏的演变。 此外，他们还将与辐射安全和控制服务公司合作。（RSCS），培训应急响应人员的领导者，选择适当的辐射仪器和模拟场景。 拟议中的RAD系统的影响，如果成功的话，将是改变应急响应培训与现实和准确的“动手”辐射模拟，将使应急响应“实践像他们玩。“商业潜力同样引人注目。Q-Track已经是核电行业辐射剂量模拟产品的领先供应商。 拟议的RAD努力使Dosimulation系统的实质性改进成为可能，这将使Q-Track也能够服务于应急响应培训市场。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed effort aims to dramatically enhance the realism of radiation safety training for Emergency Responders, both First Responders, as well as Skilled Support Personnel. The goal is to develop and evaluate realistic dosimetry simulation or "Dosimulation" tools. These "Realistic, Accurate Dosimulation" (RAD) tools will be the centerpiece for an effective Emergency Responder radiation training curriculum. This Dosimulation concept employs a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) integrated with realistic simulated dosimeters. A sophisticated software algorithm generates a Virtual Radiation Environment (VRE), assigning a particular dose rate to every location within the training area. Dosimulation merges the real-time location of the trainee from the RTLS with the simulated dose rate from the VRE to yield a realistic radiation dose simulation. he proposed Advanced Technology Training (ATT) provides a Virtual Reality simulation of any radiological emergency in a particular training environment. In the proposed RAD effort, the investigators will implement a dynamic and time varying VRE to model the evolution of plumes and spills of interest to Emergency Responders. In addition, they wil work with Radiation Safety and Control Services, Inc. (RSCS), leaders in training Emergency Responders, to select appropriate radiation instrumentation and scenarios to emulate. The impact of the proposed RAD system, if successful, will be to transform emergency responder training with realistic and accurate "hands-on" radiation simulations that will enable Emergency Responders to "practice like they play." The commercial potential is similarly compelling. Q-Track is already a leading vendor of radiation dosimetry simulation products for the nuclear power industry. The substantial improvements in Dosimulation systems made possible by the proposed RAD effort would enable Q-Track to serve the Emergency Responder training market as well.
