Evaluating Testing, Costs, and Benefits of Advanced Spectroscopic Portals
Rolling Submissions
NASEM
Description
The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) seeks to enhance radiation detection capabilities for identifying smuggled nuclear and radiological materials in cargo containers entering the United States through the development and deployment of advanced spectroscopic portals (ASPs). The National Academies will evaluate DNDO's assessment of ASP performance, including:- Testing adequacy and analysis of ASP systems - Scientific rigor and robustness of testing approaches - Cost-benefit analysis of ASP technology - Performance in both...

Other Grantor Information
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.
Additional Information
The project evaluates advanced spectroscopic portals for detecting nuclear and radiological materials in U.S. ports, addressing operational effectiveness compared to existing systems. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, the project timeline was extended due to additional findings and evaluations. Additional URLs:
