Composite Signatures of Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Technologies for Weapons Material and Component Measurement
Attribute measurement systems are being developed in support of arms-reduction negotiations to verify compliance with the disassembly of nuclear weapons and disposition of material. The currently demonstrated attribute measurement systems utilize nuclear radiation detection technologies. Alternative low-intrusion non-nuclear measurement techniques may offer access to relevant information, e.g. mass of an item, when combined with information from a nuclear radiation measurement. This document examines the application of low-intrusion non-nuclear methods in combination with nuclear methods for attribute measurement systems. Several specific combinations are evaluated.
