Environmental applications and safety

Oral

The increasing risk posed by radiological terrorism and the evolving geopolitical landscape have highlighted the need to continuously strengthen national radiation protection systems against intentional releases of radioactive materials. Among the most challenging scenarios are Radiological Dispersal Devices (RDDs, “dirty bombs”) and Improvised Nuclear Devices (INDs), which may produce severe...

DIAGNOSTICS FOR FUSION MACHINES

Oral

In future fusion power plants, the number of access points for measurements will be limited by the need to utilize a very large tritium breeding surface area on the tokamak walls. Therefore, it is necessary to develop innovative techniques to combine, ideally within a single compact diagnostic, several measurements of physical quantities useful for operation.

The frequency range spanning...
