Nuclear Safeguards, Security and Nonproliferation

Angebote / Angebote:

With the domestic Homeland Security concerns in the U.S., terrorist acts and the threat of WMD attacks increasing abroad, and select countries aspiring to rattle the saber of nuclear capability, the ability to track, detect, and safely secure nuclear material internationally has never been greater. Nuclear Security Science is a comprehensive reference volume containing contributions from leading scientists from such institutions as Texas A&M, University, Sandia National Labs and Los Alamos National Labs. The book is divided into 4 sections and includes 30 chapters on a broad range of topics including: the security of nuclear facilities and material, the illicit trafficking of nuclear materials, improvised nuclear devices, how to increase global nuclear transparency, and the future of nuclear arms reductions. Issues from the technical to global and international policy are covered in great detail. Case studies of security at nuclear facilities worldwide and past weapon inspections provide specific examples of the complex issues surrounding the technology and the policy issues in securing nuclear material.
