 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed effort aims to enhance the realism of radiation safety training for Emergency Responders, both First Responders, as well as Skilled Support Personnel. Our 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. Our 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. The proposed Advanced Technology Training (ATT) provides a Virtual Reality simulation of any radiological emergency in a particular training environment. In the proposed RAD effort, we will implement a dynamic and time varying VRE to model the evolution of plumes and spills of interest to Emergency Responders. In addition, we will continue our Phase I work with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 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.

 描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的努力旨在增强应急人员的辐射安全培训的现实性，包括第一反应人员和熟练的支持人员。我们的目标是开发和评估真实剂量学模拟或“模拟”工具。这些“真实、准确的模拟”(RAD)工具将是有效的应急响应人员辐射培训课程的核心。我们的模拟概念采用实时定位系统(RTLS)与真实的模拟剂量计相结合。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。拟议的高级技术培训(ATT)提供了在特定培训环境中对任何放射紧急情况的虚拟现实模拟。在拟议的RAD工作中，我们将实施一个动态和时变的VRE来模拟应急响应人员感兴趣的羽流和泄漏的演变。此外，我们将继续与橡树岭国家实验室、培训应急响应人员的领导者合作，选择适当的辐射仪器和情景进行模拟。拟议中的RAD系统的影响，如果成功，将改变紧急响应人员的培训，以现实和准确的“动手”辐射模拟，使紧急响应人员能够“像他们玩的那样练习”。商业潜力同样令人信服。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工作使DoSimulation系统有了实质性的改进，这将使Q-Track也能够服务于应急响应器培训市场。
