abstract="The U.S. currently lacks a national program of preparedness for an attack involving nuclear weapons or radiation dispersal devices (RDDs). Local responders lack information, training, and appropriate instruments. The development of the self-indicating instant radiation alert dosimeter (SIRAD) is a vital addition to previously existing technology, greatly expanding affordability and accessibility. Dispersal of such personally worn or carried monitors provides both tools and motivation to establish life-saving programs, partly by dispelling the myth that such measures would be futile. It also has peacetime applications for enhancing the safety of the nuclear industry and medical interventions.",
