Recently Developed Technology
Organizations
and institutions such as the National Laboratories continuously develop
specialized radiation detection systems and new approaches to measuring
radioactivity. The following
links can be used to find out more about recent developments.

The Department of
Energy Environmental Management’s Office of Science & Technology
supports the Characterization, Monitoring and Sensor Technology program.
This program develops technologies
that are safer, faster, less costly, more efficacious, and less
environmentally invasive than previously used approaches.
Many of these technologies relate to innovative field measurements
of contaminants.
The
Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology (HCET) at Florida
International University (FIU) maintains a suite of internet-enabled
information system, databases, and electronic libraries that includes
information on characterization technologies.
A number of these systems may be accessed at the Gateway
to Environmental Technology (GET) Internet website. The Technical
Information System (TIS) Database has 1841 technologies in total of which
210 are devoted to characterization.
For the Multimedia Information System (MIS) there are 33
technologies devoted to characterization.
