Vintage electronics for trusted radiation measurements and verified dismantlement of nuclear weapons

Transition from analogue-to-digital nuclear electronics for precise gamma radiation spectroscopy: advantages and limitations

In this paper, digital signal processing for precise gamma ray spectroscopy is presented. The basis of this system is a 14bit waveform digitizer which samples the output of pre-amplifier signals directly. The advantages and limitations of the digital spectrometer compared with analog spectrometer has been tested and analyzed from precise gamma ray spectroscopy point of view. The results shows t...

Trusted Computing, Trusted Third Parties, and Verified Communications

Trusted Computing gives rise to a new supply of trusted third parties on which distributed systems can potentially rely. They are the secure system components (hardware and software) built into nodes with Trusted Computing capabilities. These trusted third parties may be used for supporting communications in distributed systems. In particular, a trusted third party can check and certify the dat...

Official Use Only Interim Technical Report on Radiation Signatures for Monitoring Nuclear Warhead Dismantlement

Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Reactors

This report addresses the tenuous link between nuclear power reactor development and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, particularly with respect to possible terrorist exploitation. Arguments are presented that contradict the popular image of nuclear weaponry as a "basement project". 4 CONTENTS
