The fear that terrorists might use radiological or nuclear (RN) devices to attack others is a new but growing phenomenon, arising mainly from the events of 11 September 2001. Research on rapid analytical methods that can allow analyses of large numbe

Urine is the most popular matrix used in performance testing programs (PTP) and inter-comparison programs (ICP) for bioassay. Because it comes from humans, there are concerns regarding its biosafety. For large programs, its collection can take severa
