This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorist use of radioactive nuclear materials is a serious threat for mass destruction or disruption of civil and military activities. Most worrisome is the use of nuclear devices to cause massive casualties to people and damage to structures. Fortunately, the procurement of adequate material and the engineering design, construction, and transportation and triggering of a nuclear weapon are all difficult problems for terrorist organizations. More likely is a device that combines radioactive materials with conventional explosives to make a radiological dispersion device, commonly called a "dirty bomb". The procurement of nuclear materials for this purpose, the construction of the bomb and its use are all easier than for a nuclear weapon. Fortunately, the effects from the use of a radiological weapon would be much smaller than from a nuclear device, although they could still be very disruptive. Thus, it is important to detect the transport of nuclear weapons and radiological dispersion devices and the materials for their construction. These materials emit gamma rays or neutrons, which can be detected to show the presence and amounts of such materials.

This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection of nuclear weapons and special nuclear material (SNM, certain types of uranium and plutonium) is crucial to thwarting nuclear proliferation and terrorism and to securing weapons and materials worldwide. Congress has funded a portfolio of detection R&D and acquisition programs, and has mandated inspection at foreign ports of all U.S.-bound cargo containers using two types of detection equipment. Nuclear weapons contain SNM, which produces unique or suspect signatures that can be detected. It emits radiation, notably gamma rays (high-energy photons) and neutrons. SNM is very dense, so it produces a bright image on a radiograph (a picture like a medical x-ray) when x- rays or gamma rays are beamed through a container in which it is hidden. Using lead or other shielding to attenuate gamma rays would make this image larger. Nuclear weapons produce detectable signatures, such as radiation generated by or a noticeable image on a radiograph. Other detection techniques are also available. Nine technologies illustrate the detection portfolio: (1) A new scintillator material to improve detector performance and lower cost. (2) GADRAS, an application using multiple algorithms to determine the materials in a container by analyzing gamma-ray spectra. If materials are the eyes and ears of detectors, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of the first nuclear detonation by the Soviets after World War II until the fall of the USSR and the declaration of victory in the Cold War, it has been nuclear WMD that have held the spotlight in American foreign policy. WMD were briefly placed on the back burner as the nation enjoyed its "peace dividend" at the end of the century. The events of September 11, 2001, were a wakeup call to America about the reality of the New World Order. Unlike the Cold War period, in which the primary threat was a massive Soviet nuclear attack or annihilation from an escalating war between nation-states, the post-Cold War era has been marked by the rise in the number of rogue states, failing states, and the emergence of non-state actors with both the means and desire to acquire and use WMD. Overcoming these challenges has become the center of American force planning and military strategy. What has become clear in all of these changes over the last decade is that proliferation and deterrence have increased in importance as strategic issues in the security paradigm. The two pillars of American deterrence policies, retaliation and denial, rely on the ability to detect the presence of nuclear material and attribute it to a particular origin. In the new strategic environment, this ability has become the cornerstone of deterrence. This paper will discuss the current and emerging technologies that make possible the direct detection of nuclear and radiological materials or devices that might become, or are already part of a WMD. It will also put forth recommendations for the future direction of development that will best accomplish the strategy stated above.
