DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed effort aims to dramatically enhance the realism of radiation safety training for Emergency Responders, both First Responders, as well as Skilled Support Personnel. The goal is to develop and evaluate realistic dosimetry simulation or "Dosimulation" tools. These "Realistic, Accurate Dosimulation" (RAD) tools will be the centerpiece for an effective Emergency Responder radiation training curriculum. This Dosimulation concept employs a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) integrated with realistic simulated dosimeters. A sophisticated software algorithm generates a Virtual Radiation Environment (VRE), assigning a particular dose rate to every location within the training area. Dosimulation merges the real-time location of the trainee from the RTLS with the simulated dose rate from the VRE to yield a realistic radiation dose simulation. he proposed Advanced Technology Training (ATT) provides a Virtual Reality simulation of any radiological emergency in a particular training environment. In the proposed RAD effort, the investigators will implement a dynamic and time varying VRE to model the evolution of plumes and spills of interest to Emergency Responders. In addition, they wil work with Radiation Safety and Control Services, Inc. (RSCS), leaders in training Emergency Responders, to select appropriate radiation instrumentation and scenarios to emulate. The impact of the proposed RAD system, if successful, will be to transform emergency responder training with realistic and accurate "hands-on" radiation simulations that will enable Emergency Responders to "practice like they play." The commercial potential is similarly compelling. Q-Track is already a leading vendor of radiation dosimetry simulation products for the nuclear power industry. The substantial improvements in Dosimulation systems made possible by the proposed RAD effort would enable Q-Track to serve the Emergency Responder training market as well.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的努力旨在极大地增强对紧急响应者的辐射安全培训的现实主义，包括第一响应者以及熟练的支持人员。目标是开发和评估现实的剂量模拟或“添加”工具。这些“现实，准确的饮用”工具将成为有效的应急响应辐射训练课程的核心。这个dosimulation概念采用了与现实的模拟剂量计集成的实时位置系统（RTL）。 复杂的软件算法生成虚拟辐射环境（VRE），将特定剂量率分配给培训区域内的每个位置。 dosimulation将RTL的实时位置与VRE的模拟剂量率合并，以产生逼真的辐射剂量模拟。 他提出了先进的技术培训（ATT），对特定培训环境中任何放射性紧急情况进行了虚拟现实模拟。 在拟议的RAD努力中，调查人员将实施动态和时间变化的VRE，以模拟紧急响应者感兴趣的羽毛和溢出物的演变。 此外，他们将与培训应急人员的领导者（RSC）（RSC）一起使用辐射安全和控制服务，以选择合适的辐射仪器和效仿场景。 拟议的RAD系统的影响（如果成功）将是使用现实，准确的“动手”辐射模拟来改变紧急响应者训练，这将使紧急响应者能够像他们一样练习。 商业潜力同样引人注目。 Q-Track已经是核电行业辐射剂量模拟产品的主要供应商。 拟议的RAD努力使剂量仿真系统的实质性改进将使Q轨道也能够为紧急响应者培训市场服务。
