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, ...

Congress has long sought, through legislation and oversight, to protect the United States against terrorist threats, especially from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. Radiological dispersal devices (RDDs) are one type of CBRN weapon. Explosive-driven "dirty bombs" are an often-discussed type of RDD, though radioactive material can also be dispersed in other ways. This report provides background for understanding the RDD threat and responses, and presents issues for Congress. Appendices: Technical Background; Some U.S. Vulnerabilities to RDDS. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.

The Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) is a multi-layered system of detection technol., programs, and guidelines designed to enhance the nation¿s ability to detect and prevent a radiological or nuclear attack. Among its components are existing programs in nuclear detection operated by other fed. agencies and new programs put into place by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). Contents of this report: (1) Intro.: Fed. Efforts; DNDO; (2) What is the GNDA?: Layered Defense; Methodology and Metrics for Eval¿n.; Priority Setting; Interagency Coord¿n.; (3) Priorities and Funding Levels Within the GNDA; Balance Between Incremental and Transformational Changes to the GNDA; Long-Term Maint. of the GNDA; R&D Coord.
