DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

Radioluminescence were measured in several ceramics materials under irradiation in 60Co gamma-ray irradiation facility using the fused silica core fiber. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), europium oxide (Eu2O3), and gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) had luminescent peaks. These peaks had the linearity to the gamma-ray dose rate under 6.3 Gy/s.
