A methodology, based on the multiattribute utility analysis, for assessment of diverse fuel cycles proliferation resistance was developed. This methodology is intended to allow effectiveness safeguards implementation at facilities within a large-scale cycle and ability choose technologies in part their deter nuclear materials. Fuel under consideration include reactors, reprocessing facilities, storage enrichment plants, fabrication uranium conversion mining milling operations. The method...

Given the growing concerns surrounding declared and undeclared nuclear activities around world, a novel multi-modal imaging system combining gamma imaging, visible-light multi-resolution 3D has been developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). As part of an international collaborative effort, this research aims providing portable to assess, monitor and/or detect material dispersion in facilities. This includes (1) coded-aperture gamma-ray imager that provides map all major radiological...

An expansion of global commerce in nuclear material will accompany the forecast worldwide renaissance power. The increased amplifies risk that uranium hexafluoride (UF6) cylinders could be lost as a result an accident or mishandling, stolen by non-state actors (e.g. terrorists), diverted nation states/governments. While there are very few problems with UF6 cylinder shipments, complicated logistics international truck, rail and sea transport can increase difficulty locating shipments at any...
