| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We propose two methods as means to counter radiological terrorist acts such as dirty-bomb or silent-source attacks. The first proposal concerns a nuclear detection system using the security cameras already installed in public spaces. Our method is based on counting the number of hot pixels, impacts on the device’s image sensor (CCD or CMOS) that produced constantly bright pixels.The proposed nuclear detection system using security cameras has been demonstrated to be effective in detecting radiation emanating from devices containing lead-shielded nuclear material and assessing criticality. The second proposal is to study a novel nuclear-identification method using prior probability (information), spectral shape, and peak energy. The method is usuful for in-situ measurements using gamma-ray detectors with low-energy resolution.
