“…These include simulated benchmark radiation spectra of special nuclear material (SNM) sources from collaborative work between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) [5], simulated spectra from PNNL of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) sources [6] often found as cargo, and measured maritime spectra from Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) (See Table I). …”

Fig. 1. Typical detection scenario for illicit sources.Abstract-SMART (Simulation of MAritime Radiological Threats) is a package created for simplyfing the process of modeling the performance of detector systems for identifying special nuclear materials (SNM). It consists of a library of spectra, including evaluation benchmarks produced for these SNMs as well as naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), a graphical front end system for setting up simulations with GEANT4 or MCNPX, and analysis tools for retrieving spectra plots from the detector, as well as imaging for Compton and Coded Mask spectrometers.

“…Despite continuing efforts in this area (see Refs. [2][3][4]), there is still a need for readily available, easy-to-use (but still precise) background models. One example involves detection of a target source located in a suspect vehicle parked in a concrete or asphalt parking lot, possibly close to a concrete wall of a nearby building.…”
