Strategy to Improve Scintillation Detector Capabilities to Enhance Nuclear Safety and Security

这项研究计划包括一项改善闪烁探测器能力的战略，以加强核安全和安保。它于2010年在安大略大学理工学院发起，目的是研究新型辐射传感器的基本特性，并开发用于在线辐射光谱和剂量测定的新算法。该计划的基本原理是：1)满足下一代辐射探测仪器对新技术的需求；2)实施这项技术，以增强国家安全、防扩散和核工业的职业安全；3)在健康物理、辐射和核科学领域培训和聘用放射科学和核工程专业的学生。除了我在UOIT从事的与辐射和核技术相关的教学活动外，我计划在未来五年内：1)继续研究新型辐射传感器的特征和特性，并有可能在加拿大种植它们；2)研究将不同材料结合在一起以生产可同时检测不同类型辐射的高灵敏度传感器的可能性；3)开发用于剂量计算和谱分析的经验算法；4)与业界合作，为工业实施提供所需的核数据。

This research program consists of a strategy to improve scintillation detector capabilities to enhance nuclear safety and security. It was initiated in 2010 at the University Of Ontario Institute Of Technology to investigate the fundamental proprieties of novel radiation sensors and develop new algorithms for online radiation spectrometry and dosimetry. The rationale for this program is: 1) to fill the need of new technologies for the next generation of radiation detection instrumentation 2) to implement this technology to enhance the national security, non proliferation and occupational safety in nuclear industry 3) to train and engage radiation science and nuclear engineering students in the field of health physics, radiation and nuclear sciences. Adding to my teaching activities related to radiation and nuclear technologies at UOIT, over the next five years, I plan to: 1) to continue investigating the characteristics and proprieties of new radiation sensors with the possibility of growing them in Canada 2) investigate the possibility to incorporate different materials to produce highly sensitive sensors for simultaneous detection of different types of radiation 3) develop empirical algorithms for dose calculation and spectrum analysis and 4) collaborate with industry and provide the needed nuclear data for industrial implementation.
