Determination of Origin and Intended Use of Plutonium Metal Using Nuclear Forensic Techniques

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, a large number of incidents of illegal possession and trafficking of nuclear materials were reportedn [1]. Illicit activities involving nuclear materials still pose a great threat to international security as these materials have the potential to be used for nuclear terrorism. Nuclear forensics is a multi-disciplinary scientific field that was established to investigate the origin and intended use of interdicted nuclear materials [2–7].
