Personal Annunciation Device - A New Technology for Radiation Hazard Alert and Accountability
Speaker: Dr. Peter L. Angelo Senior Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineer Y-12 National Security Complex Oak Ridge, TN Where: 308 Pasqua Engineering Bldg. U. of Tennessee Main Campus When: Wednesday, March 5, 2008 1:30 - 2:30 pm. EDT Abstract: The Personal Annunciation Device (PAD) is a new technology developed by the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge TN. Originally conceived to extend the range of personal radiation detection instruments under extreme radiological incident conditions; the PAD has been recognized by R&D Magazine as one of the top 100 significant innovations of 2007. Dr. Peter Angelo, inventor and principle investigator describes the unique engineering challenges associated with developing and demonstrating the technology at a Department of Energy production facility. The PAD was the first demonstration of radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless and radiation detection technologies integrated into an industrial hazard alerting system. The use for PAD is not limited to radiation hazard events, as the means to incorporate personal accounting can be beneficial for any general emergency.
