Safeguards R and D at Los Alamos: The first 20 years
The author became interested in safeguards as an employee of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1963-65. With the support of the director of Los Alamos and of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Los Alamos safeguards group was established. From the start, this group worked closely with the nuclear processing groups there. Some of the improtant contributions of the group are illustrated: the mobile NDA laboratory, DYMAC, several instruments in use by the IAEA. The group provides technical assistance to private and government facilities in the U.S. and works with development groups in other countries on behalf of the IAEA. The several training courses conducted by Los Alamos for U.S. private and government employees, IAEA inspectors, and personnel from developing countries are described.
