Domestic Fabrication Of High-Purity Precursor Materials For Advanced Radiation Detection Scintillator Crystals
Summary
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) seeks domestic development and fabrication of high‑purity precursor materials for advanced inorganic scintillator crystals such as LaBr₃:Ce, CLYC, and CLLB. These precursors are critical to high‑resolution gamma spectroscopy and dual gamma/neutron detectors used in radiation isotope identification devices and other DoW nuclear security systems.
