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.

项目总结/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工作： 建立能够监测人类和环境的放射性分析测量实验室 动物食品中的放射性污染物。目前还没有分析实验室 由科罗拉多州维护的具有放射性分析测量能力，可以 用于执行测量以支持常规或紧急情况下的食品防御 情况。科罗拉多州立大学的健康物理项目有着悠久的历史 进行放射分析测量和放射化学分离的传统 培训和研究。最初的努力将集中于提供一个能够 监测食品样本中的伽马发射放射性核素以支持食品防御（轨道 1）。 同时测量α发射放射性核素的能力（轨道2）将 通过利用科罗拉多州立大学的现有设施以及专业知识和背景而开发 健康物理项目的教师。
