Due to the rise in the global security threats,homeland security is of utmost importance. The unstable geopolitical climate, emergence and expansion of terrorist organizations, and rise of radiological and nuclear technologies are the pivotal factors responsible for the increase in global threats. This calls for the need for detection and prevention of radiological attacks as these attacks lead to heavy human loss. Hence, the security and defense organizations of every country are striving hard to tighten their homeland security by making heavy investments -on this front. There is a rapid increase in the number of patients suffering from cancer which again leads to the need foreffective tools for cancer diagnosis which needs PET scanners that consist of scintillator materials. So, there is high demand for these materials owing to the high demand of medical imaging devices. Future plans for development of the nuclear power plants also boost the demand for scintillators.
