Abstract:The current geopolitical situation suggests an increasing possibility of radiological dispersal device attacks on sensitive targets. Consequently, understanding the transport of radiation over great distances in a short time can help first responders and decision makers in effectively managing emergencies. By utilizing open-source computational codes, intentional releases of radioactive material and their transmission from person to person can be simulated to provide first responders and decision makers with a… Show more
