Fissile material detection using neutron time-correlations from photofission

Proof of Principle for Active Detection of Fissionable Material Using Intense, Pulsed-Bremsstrahlung-Induced Photofission

China and a Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty

In this paper, I will explore China's possible position in upcoming FMCT negotiations, China’s major security concerns, the kind of verification provisions that could be accepted by China, and the factors that might facilitate China’s participation in the treaty.

A System for the Detection of Concealed Nuclear Weapons and Fissile Material aboard Cargo Containerships

A new approach to the detection of concealed nuclear weapons and fissile material aboard cargo containerships is proposed. The ship-based approach removes the constraints of current thinking by addressing the threat of containerized nuclear terror in a novel way. Critical tactical misjudgments exist in currently deployed detection systems, which expose U.S. cities to an act of nuclear terrorism...

Viewpoint : Verifying a Fissile Material Production Cut - off Treaty

Dr. Victor Bragin has been involved in the development of a fissile material cut-off treaty since 1994, first as Safeguards Analyst at the International Atomic Energy Agency, and since January 1996 as Safeguards Adviser at the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office (ASNO). Mr. John Carlson is Director-General of ASNO, and is a statutory officer responsible directly to the Australian...
