Description
With an increase of global security concerns over potential terrorist acts, the threat of WMDs, and increasing political issues with nations
seeking nuclear capability, the need to track, detect, and safeguard nuclear material globally has never been greater. Nuclear Safeguards,
Security and Nonproliferation is a comprehensive reference that covers cutting-edge technologies used to trace, track, and safeguard
nuclear material. It is a contributed volume with sections contributed by scientists from leading institutions such as Los Alamos National
Labs, Sandia National Labs, Pacific Northwest Nuclear Labs, and Texas A&M University, and the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
The book is divided into 3 sections and includes 30 chapters on such topics as - the security of nuclear facilities and material, the
illicit trafficking of nuclear materials, improvised nuclear devices, how to prevent nuclear terrorism. International case studies of
security at nuclear facilities and illegal nuclear trade activities provide specific examples of the complex issues surrounding the technology
and policy for nuclear material protection, control and accountability. Specific cases include analysis of the timely issues in the nuclear
programs of countries such as North Korea, Iran, and Kazakstan among others. Nuclear Security is a must-have volume for the dozens of
private and public organizations involved in driving Homeland Security, domestic, and international policy issues relating to nuclear
material security, non-proliferation, and nuclear transparency.
