NSSPI researchers develop new methodologies to discriminate weapons-grade plutonium from various nuclear reactor types - Nuclear forensics involves using analytical techniques to determine the origin and history of nuclear materials, in particular those that have been intercepted from smuggling operations or recovered following a nuclear explosion. According to Jeremy Osborn, a nuclear engineering Ph.D. student working with the TEES Center for Nuclear Security Science and (read more...)

Mar 29, 2018NSSPI Student Develops a Stochastic Approach to Evaluate Nuclear Facility Security - All nuclear facilities contain assets that must be protected against security threats. Threats may be in the form of outsider adversaries seeking to steal materials to produce nuclear weapons or dirty bombs or to attack the facility to cause a dangerous release of radioactive materials. Adversaries may also collude with (read more...)
