| Description | This 2002 workshop brought together members of the nation’s nuclear physics research community with expertise in nuclear physics, detector development, and accelerator development from DOE and NSF laboratories and universities, with terrorism experts from government agencies familiar with technologies, strategies and policy for the combat of terrorism. The primary objective of the workshop was communication:
The focus of the workshop was: 1) conventional explosive and weapon detection and 2) radiological and nuclear threats. Each of these topics included research for field applications, detector and accelerator research in transportation (air, surface, maritime), detector and accelerator research in laboratory forensic detection and preventive measures against clandestine activities.
