Research on Military Applications through Technical Analysis of Civilian Radiation Measurement Equipment
J Richter Lee, Byeongjik Kim, S. Y. Park · Journal of The Korean Institute of Defense Technology · 2024
North Korea continues to advance its nuclear missile capabilities, but the military is lacking in the development of radiation measurement equipment and technology, which are crucial for responding to nuclear attacks. This paper emphasizes the need for appropriate radiation detectors, considering the purpose of radiation measurement and the types and energies of radiation. Additionally, it identifies the operational limitations of the current military radiation detectors used over the past 20 years by using simulations with NukeMap and measuring radiation detection times. To overcome these limitations, the paper analyzes the technologies of civilian radiation measurement equipment and proposes six application methods.
