Project description
Radioactive radiation detectors that can be used more widely
Sources of radiation are all around us all the time. For instance, naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in the earth’s crust, as well as in the floors and walls of our homes and in our food. In high doses, it can be a health hazard. This is why levels need to be monitored. In this context, the EU funded Radiation detector project will develop new nuclear radiation detection technology revolutionising the usability and application locations of the radiation detectors. This will make illicit nuclear material trafficking harder and Europe safer from terrorist attacks.
