    Remote sensing volatile elements for new signatures from underground nuclear explosions

    The detection of radioactive noble gas isotopes is one of the key tools in detecting underground nuclear explosions, but other volatile elemental species, that have historically been overlooked, may also migra...

    Generating aerodynamic surrogate nuclear explosion debris (SNED)

    “Aerodynamic debris” has often been observed from explosion debris collected on the fringe of surface nuclear tests. The material forms small glassy particulates, ranging in shape from near perfectly spherical...
