With an increase of global security concerns over potential
terrorist acts, the threat of WMDs, and increasing political issues
with nations seeking nuclear capability, the need to track, detect,
and safeguard nuclear material globally has never been greater.
"Nuclear Safeguards, Security and Nonproliferation" is a
comprehensive reference that covers cutting-edge technologies used
to trace, track, and safeguard nuclear material. It is a
contributed volume with sections contributed by scientists from
leading institutions such as Los Alamos National Labs, Sandia
National Labs, Pacific Northwest Nuclear Labs, and Texas A&M
University, and the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
The book is divided into 3 sections and includes 30 chapters on
such topics as - the security of nuclear facilities and material,
the illicit trafficking of nuclear materials, improvised nuclear
devices, how to prevent nuclear terrorism. International case
studies of security at nuclear facilities and illegal nuclear trade
activities provide specific examples of the complex issues
surrounding the technology and policy for nuclear material
protection, control and accountability. Specific cases include
analysis of the timely issues in the nuclear programs of countries
such as North Korea, Iran, and Kazakstan among others. Nuclear
Security is a must-have volume for the dozens of private and public
organizations involved in driving Homeland Security, domestic, and
international policy issues relating to nuclear material security,
non-proliferation, and nuclear transparency.
