Nuclear Further evidence is required for the development of decision support system comprised of mobile, modular, and autonomous sensors (e.g. gamma/alpha/beta, EO), as well as fixed assets and model input, which feed data into a nuclear data fusion engine which controls the overall system and assumes responsibilities of central operators. Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Nuclear Further research is encouraged into sensor miniaturisation, which are graphene-based field effect transistors for radiation detection. These are small, inexpensive and low-powered devices that offer exceptional sensitivity to X-rays, gamma-rays, and neutrons (e.g. stack or personnel monitoring). Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Nuclear How can we use crowdsourced data in emergency preparedness and response for nuclear resilience? What are the potential standardisation processes for open datasets which could be used in across government analytics and central government communications processes?
