Domestic Fabrication Of High-Purity Precursor Materials For Advanced Radiation Detection Scintillator Crystals
Domestic Fabrication Of High-Purity Precursor Materials For Advanced Radiation Detection Scintillator Crystals is a funding opportunity from DTRA, closing January 6, 2027.
Overview
High-purity precursor materials are the foundational input for all high-performance inorganic scintillator crystals used in the DoW radiation detection and nuclear forensics missions. Current supply chains for key halides (e.g., LaCl₃, LaBr₃, YCl₃, LiCl, CsCl, CeCl3 etc.) and rare earth oxides (e.g., Gd2O3,…
