Fast forward computation of radiation transport for emergency response, environmental protection, and national security
Project overview
Project title
Fast forward computation of radiation transport for emergency response, environmental protection, and national security applications.
Project description
This project will focus on developing a novel fast computational tool for use in Australian emergency response, environmental protection, and national security applications. The expected outcome is for the model to be incorporated into relevant extant situational awareness tools and geographic information systems to enhance utility to support emergency response, environmental protection, and national security operations. First responders, national security and environmental agencies concerned with nuclear and radiological hazards will benefit from enhanced planning and operational information.
