Purdue Workshop on Nonproliferation: Technology and Approaches
In the unlikely but catastrophic event of a nuclear terrorist attack our government leadership will need reliable information to rapidly inform critical decisions. This research explores the use of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) as a potential analysis tool in the National Technical Nuclear Forensics process. The current state of post detonation nuclear forensics requires ground and air samples be collected and shipped to state-of-the-art laboratories for radiochemical analysis. The samples undergo many measurements and useable data is produced as these measurements are completed. This data flows back into the process to guide additional measurements and inform the process of …

Purdue Workshop on Nonproliferation: Technology and Approaches
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Nuclear Cyber Team (NCT) is a recognized leader in international nuclear cyber program assessments as well as nuclear cyber training development and delivery. This paper discusses how the NCT is implementing their vision to protect global nuclear infrastructure from cyber threats. Also outlined is the team’s perspectives on the global nuclear cyber threat landscape and the top ten approachable cyber security measures that can be applied to immediately improve a country’s nuclear cyber security posture.
