DHS CWMD Office Plans Contracts for Thallium Bromide Work
The Department of Homeland Security Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office plans to award contracts to Bubble Technology Industries and Radiation Monitoring Devices for work related to Thallium Bromide-based detectors. Bubble Technology will conduct research and development to complete the design, fabrication and testing of Capacitive Frisch Grid needed to characterize Thallium Bromide-based core detector modules (CDMs). The work builds on and continues the previous program’s focus on developing TlBr as a revolutionary new detector material that is expected to have a transformational impact in helping to counter the threat of nuclear terrorism. RDM will also conduct R&D to complete the design and testing of Pixelated Detector needed to characterize TlBr-based CDMs. The work also builds on a previous program to develop TlBr as a new detector material. Both companies’ research is expected to culminate in delivery of CDMs and supporting characterization and test data that will support transitioning to CWMD’s THOR program, which will develop prototype TlBr Radio-Isotope Identification Devices (RIIDs) for eventual commercialization. Each contract will be for six months.
