Description
The Uranium Sourcing Database is a working nuclear forensics database containing data on thousands
of samples of uranium ore concentrate (UOC) and related products. The database is part of a broader effort to
characterize and document distinguishing properties of UOC for use in assessing the probable source of sample of
material absent any packaging or identifying marks. While this project has focused on UOC, the lessons learned are
equally relevant to a wide range of nuclear and radiological materials. We will present a number of practical
insights, including nuclear forensics database development and population, user interface requirements, analytical
laboratory to database interface, and database utilization.
This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.
