Advancing nuclear detection and inspection

MIT News  November 14, 2019
Previously proposed solutions lacked the combination of isotopic sensitivity and information security. Researchers at MIT present the experimental feasibility proof of a technique that uses neutron induced nuclear resonances that is sensitive to the combination of isotopics and geometry. The information is physically encrypted to prevent the leakage of sensitive information. The approach can significantly increase the trustworthiness of future arms control treaties while expanding their scope to include the verified dismantlement of nuclear warheads themselves…read more.
