Forest Radiation Program
Objectives and methods
Radioactive materials under this program will be used to support a research program in fundamental nuclear physics and radiation detector development. The research will use radioisotopes, like U-238 and Th-232, to develop neutron detectors.
Facilities
The Laboratory for Detector Science is located in room B101 of the Physical Sciences Complex building. A floorplan of the laboratory is shown below. Radioactive active materials will be stored in a safe identified as "Safe 2" in the floorplan below.
Radioacive waste
We do not expect to generate Radioactive waste in the Laboratory for Detector Science.
