New technical document to investigate radioactive materials – IAEA

IAEA 10th Aug 2017, When nuclear or radioactive material is encountered out of regulatory
control, it is crucial that nuclear forensic investigators learn about the
material’s origin and history. To do so, they look at details in the
characteristics of the material – known as nuclear forensic signatures
– as these reveal important clues about this information.

To help experts make reliable conclusions about nuclear forensic signatures, the IAEA in
August 2017 published a new technical document that highlight novel
analytical techniques used by experts around the world.
