Prevention, Detection and Response to Nuclear and Radiological Threats Summary

Prevention, Detection and Response to Nuclear and Radiological Threats by Samuel Apikyan

Stemming from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, this book asserts that no single institution or country possesses all the resources to effectively address radiological and nuclear threats. Moreover, the book asserts that fundamental scientific challenges must be overcome to achieve new and improved technologies. In response, the book sets forth research strategies that advance the ability to counter nuclear and radiological threats.
