Saturday Morning Physics | Detection for Nuclear Nonproliferation
Sara Pozzi, Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences & Director, Consortium for Verification Technology (U-M)
Since the discovery of fission, nuclear chain reactions, and nuclear weapons, preventing the spread of nuclear weapons has become a top priority for our nation and the world. Several international treaties have been put into place to curb the expansion of nuclear capabilities. Nevertheless, there are states that may be pursuing elements of an overt or covert nuclear weapons program. New science and technology developments are needed to verify the existing or proposed treaties in this area and to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again.
