Supplier Showcase
November 13, 2024|1:00–2:00PM (2:00–3:00PM EST)
Available to All Users
Join us for an ANS Supplier Showcase webinar and learn about the capabilities of Radiation Visualization with RadVision3D.
Christian Zircher, lead nuclear engineer, Transco Products Inc., will briefly explain the process and hardware used for capturing geospatial data along with radiological data, how that data is used to create a 3D model, and how that model can be used to perform integral RP tasks with little or no exposure to dose.
About the Presenter
Christian Zircher is the Lead Nuclear Engineer at Transco where he develops technology for radiation detection and visualization as well as manages the RadVision3D®division of the company. After completing both his Bachelor’s and Masters of Science in Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he joined at Transco Products Inc. During his time in this position, he developed ARGOS (Augmented Reality Gamma Observation System) which outputs N-Visage and RadVision3D® data into virtual environments. He has also developed a number of other radiation visualization and radiation detector simulation systems. Outside of his product development role, he utilized the RadVision3D® system to map and identify radiation sources as well as simulate mitigation strategies for various commercial nuclear power plants and national research laboratories.
