Project Summary The Washington Department of Health Public Health Laboratories (WAPHL) operates a comprehensive environmental radiation laboratory with advanced radiation emergency response capability, including procedures for measuring radiological contamination in foods. Food safety and security are essential components to commerce in the state and to the United States. Washington is a large agricultural food producer and has several major ports which are active in food importing and exporting. From the ports, food is shipped throughout the Pacific Rim, as well as into other parts of the Unites States and the world. The ultimate objectives of this application are: Maintain expertise in radiological food testing; Build capacity to process a larger number and wider variety of samples quickly and accurately; Develop and strengthen existing collaborative partnerships with FDA and other FERN laboratories, and; Develop protocols and procedures that can be implemented nationally to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of food sample processing for radiological analyses. This application will specifically be used to fund two radiochemists to for procedure development/modification, procedure testing and validation, technology/method transfer to other FERN laboratories, and to coordinate two interlaboratory-comparison emergency response exercises, one in 2012 and the other in 2015, as follow-up to the MENU2010 exercise. Procedure work will emphasize sample preparation and counting for screening and identification by gamma and beta spectrometry aimed at enhancing the speed, throughput and quality of sample preparation.

项目摘要 华盛顿卫生公共卫生实验室（WAPHL）经营 具有晚期辐射紧急的全面环境辐射实验室 响应能力，包括测量食物中放射学污染的程序。 食品安全和保障是该州和联合国商业的重要组成部分 国家。华盛顿是一个大型农业食品生产商，有几个主要港口 积极进口和出口。从港口，食物在整个太平洋地区运输 边缘以及联合国和世界的其他地区。 该应用程序的最终目标是：保持放射食品测试方面的专业知识； 建立能够快速，准确地处理更大数量和更广泛的样品的能力； 与FDA和其他FERN建立并加强现有的合作伙伴关系 实验室，并且；制定可以在全国实施的协议和程序 提高了放射学分析的食品样品处理的有效性和效率。 该应用程序将专门用于资助两名放宽化学家进行程序 开发/修改，程序测试和验证，技术/方法转移到 其他蕨类植物实验室，并协调两个实验室间比较紧急情况 响应练习，一个在2012年，另一个在2015年，作为菜单2011年练习的后续。 程序工作将强调样本准备和计数以进行筛查和 通过伽马和β光谱法识别旨在提高速度，吞吐量和 样品制备的质量。
