SUMMARY: RADIOCHEMISTRY ANALYTICAL TRACK 2 (ALPHA EXPANSION) Food safety can be threatened by radioactive contamination: isotopes that are naturally present in environmental samples in low abundance can reach dangerously elevated levels through nuclear plant malfunctions, radiotherapeutic accidents, terrorism, or even rare natural phenomina. The core tenet of this large and multifaceted proposal is to contribute a comprehensive and integrated food protection laboratory hub to the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) that is capable of analyzing many different foods across a diversity of threat priorities. In addition to our capabilities, our goal relies on having the needed capacity to detect and identify a wide range of radionuclides in foods. Since the current FERN radiochemistry CAP grant is finishing its tenure in a few months, the Radiation section now seeks to be incorporated into the current multi-faceted cooperative agreement, and in doing so to expand its alpha spectrometry capacity by purchasing a second instrument and training additional personnel. This will strengthen and unify our involvement in FERN. Through this analytical track the laboratory will achieve the prescribed track Specific Aims.

摘要：放射化学分析轨道2（Alpha扩展） 食品安全可能会受到放射性污染的威胁：自然存在的同位素 低丰度的环境样本可以通过核电站达到危险的升高水平 故障，放射治疗事故，恐怖主义甚至罕见的自然现象。的核心宗旨 这个大型多方面的建议是为全面而综合的食物保护做出贡献 粮食应急网络（FERN）的实验室中心，能够分析许多 各种威胁优先事项的不同食品。除了我们的能力外，我们的目标还依靠 具有检测和鉴定食物中广泛的放射性核素所需的能力。自从 当前的蕨放射化学上限赠款在几个月内完成任期，辐射部分 现在试图将其纳入当前的多方面合作协议中，并这样做 通过购买第二种仪器和培训来扩大其α光谱能力 其他人员。这将加强和统一我们参与蕨类植物。通过这种分析 跟踪实验室将达到规定的特定目标。
