Title: Current Trends in Gamma Ray Detection for Radiological Emergency Response

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1055484

Passive and active detection of gamma rays from shielded radioactive materials, including special nuclear materials, is an important task for any radiological emergency response organization. This article reports on the current trends and status of gamma radiation detection objectives and measurement techniques as applied to nonproliferation and radiological emergencies.
