 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Smartphone Simulator for Realistic Radiation HAZMAT and Emergency Response Training Project Summary High levels of radioactive radiation is a major source of public health. This proposal seeks to develop a simulator-based tool for radiation HAZMAT and emergency response training. The smartphone simulator produces a virtual environment where the trainee can explore the operation of a variety of hand-held radiation detectors in realistic scenarios involving the presence of radioactive sources. The smartphone application (app) will emulate a wide range of commercial instruments having different capabilities, limitations and modes of operation. It also creates realistic scenarios tha capture the effect of radioactive sources of unknown strength and composition, shielding, distance and the layout of buildings and landscape. The training app is based on recent software developments at CapeSym that allow for high fidelity simulation of both the radiation environment and the response of commercial detector instruments. The training app will be designed to allow direct participation of the instructor, both in defining the radiation scenario ad assessing the performance of the trainees. The training modules will be customizable by the instructor, using easy-to-modify templates. As the app would be on the trainee's smart-phone, all of the training modules would be available outside of a traditional training course, providing opportunities for continual, self-directed training. The proposed training app will allow trainees o receive hands-on experience with expensive instruments, at negligible cost. It also allows training in simulated complex scenarios with high levels of gamma and neutron radiation, which can be otherwise prohibitively dangerous and expensive to conduct. This training app allows for wide-spread, low-cost training of a large number of HAZMAT and emergency responders across the country.

 描述（由申请人提供）：用于真实辐射危险品和应急响应培训的智能手机模拟器 项目摘要 高水平放射性辐射是公共卫生的主要来源。本提案旨在开发一种基于模拟器的工具，用于辐射危险品和应急响应培训。智能手机模拟器产生一个虚拟环境，学员可以在涉及放射源的现实场景中探索各种手持式辐射探测器的操作。智能手机应用程序（应用程序）将模拟各种商业场景。它还创建了真实的场景，捕捉未知强度和成分、屏蔽、距离以及建筑物和景观布局的影响。该培训应用程序基于最近的软件开发。 CapeSym 允许对辐射环境和商业探测器仪器的响应进行高保真模拟，该培训应用程序的设计允许讲师直接参与定义辐射场景和评估学员的表现。模块将由教师定制，使用由于该应用程序位于学员的智能手机上，因此所有培训模块都可以在传统培训课程之外使用，从而为持续、自我指导的培训提供了机会。受训者可以以极低的成本获得使用昂贵仪器的实践经验，它还允许在具有高水平伽马和中子辐射的模拟复杂场景中进行培训，否则进行该培训可能会非常危险且昂贵。对全国大量危险品和应急响应人员进行广泛、低成本的培训。
