About
P. Musico is a leading researcher in radiation detection and nuclear safety, with a focus on developing advanced sensor systems for environmental monitoring in hazardous environments. Their primary contributions center on the design and field validation of gamma and neutron detectors for the EU-funded CLEANDEM project, which aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of nuclear decommissioning and accident remediation. Musico’s work on the Gamma and Neutron Sensor System, cited 16 times, has been pivotal in enabling rapid dose rate mapping without exposing human operators to radiological risks. This system, integrated into small robotic vehicles, allows for unmanned preliminary inspections of contaminated areas, identifying dangerous locations before human entry. Additionally, their field tests of the MiniRadMeter detector, with 3 citations each, have demonstrated the practical viability of these sensors in real-world scenarios, contributing to the development of safer protocols for managing over 400 active nuclear reactors worldwide. Musico’s research bridges the gap between theoretical sensor design and operational deployment, making significant strides in protecting workers and advancing robotic-assisted nuclear safety.
