The most likely means of delivering a nuclear bomb on a major city is through a successful smuggling effort by a terrorist organization. The catastrophic damage it would cause demands cooperative action by all responsible governments. Several U.S. Government programs are in place to deal with this threat.

Preventing nuclear and radioactive material from being smuggled into the U.S. -- perhaps to be used by terrorists in a nuclear weapon or in a radiological dispersal device -- has become a key national security objective. The duties of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) include acquiring and supporting the deployment of radiation detection equipment. It is responsible for the development, testing, acquisition and deployment of a system to detect radiation at U.S. ports of entry. This report reviews: (1) the projected costs to implement DNDO¿s 2006 project execution plan for the radiation portal monitor program; and (2) the reliability of DNDO¿s projections given what is known about the costs to procure, install, and operate radiation detection equipment.

Radiation detection is important in many fields, and it poses significant challenges for instrument designers. Radiation detection instruments, particularly for nuclear decommissioning and security applications, are required to operate in unknown environments and should detect and characterise radiation fields in real time. This book covers both theory and practice, and it solicits recent advances in radiation detection, with a particular focus on radiation detection instrument design, real-time data processing, radiation simulation and experimental work, robot design, control systems, task planning and radiation shielding.

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is charged with developing and procuring equipment to prevent a terrorist nuclear or radiological attack in the U.S. At the forefront of DNDO¿s efforts are technologies currently deployed and under development whose purpose is to detect smuggled nuclear and radiological materials. These technologies include existing radiation portal monitors and next-generation replacements known as advanced spectroscopic portals (ASP). Radiation portal monitors are used to detect radiation emitted from conveyances, such as trucks, entering the U.S. Contents of this report: (1) History and Background; (2) Issues for Congress: Capability to Detect and Identify Threats; (3) Options for Congress.

The Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) is a multi-layered system of detection technol., programs, and guidelines designed to enhance the nation¿s ability to detect and prevent a radiological or nuclear attack. Among its components are existing programs in nuclear detection operated by other fed. agencies and new programs put into place by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). Contents of this report: (1) Intro.: Fed. Efforts; DNDO; (2) What is the GNDA?: Layered Defense; Methodology and Metrics for Eval¿n.; Priority Setting; Interagency Coord¿n.; (3) Priorities and Funding Levels Within the GNDA; Balance Between Incremental and Transformational Changes to the GNDA; Long-Term Maint. of the GNDA; R&D Coord.

In April 2005, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was established to enhance and coordinate fed., state, and local efforts to combat nuclear smuggling domestically and overseas. DNDO was directed to develop, in coordination with the depts. of DoD, DoE, and State, a global strategy for nuclear detection -- a system of radiation detection equipment and interdiction activities domestically and abroad. This report examines: (1) DNDO's progress in developing programs to address critical gaps in preventing nuclear smuggling domestically; (2) DNDO's role in supporting other agencies' efforts to combat nuclear smuggling overseas; and (3) the amount budgeted by DoD, DoE, and State for programs that constitute the global nuclear detection strategy.

Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents is a hardbound series that provides primary-source documents and expert commentary on the worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Volume 120, U.S. Preparedness for Catastrophic Attacks, discusses the critical topic of U.S. preparedness for catastrophic events. Doug Lovelace introduces documents that will inform researchers and practitioners of international law and national security about the ability of the United States to prevent and deter a catastrophic attack, as well as to mitigate and cope with the effects of such an attack.
