In 2013, with the support of the Royal Thai Government, the European Commission, and the IAEA, Thailand Nuclear Forensics Laboratory was established officially at the Office of Atoms for Peace. For almost ten years, Thailand has kept the momentum to enhance the national capability to fight against illicit trafficking on nuclear and other radioactive materials out of regulatory...
Nuclear security is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. Detecting criminal/unauthorized acts involving nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control is a priority in nuclear security. In nuclear forensics detection of nuclear materials to determine whether the sample is nuclear, its isotopics and corresponding enrichment are the key aspects to collect...
Nuclear and other radioactive materials outside of regulatory control (MORC) can trigger nuclear security events with severe environmental and economic consequences. In order to deal with such threats, it is necessary to strengthen international nuclear security measures, including nuclear forensics. Based on the national statement at the first Nuclear Security Summit, Japan has been...
The aim of retrospective dosimetry is the determination of absorbed dose after a certain „radiological event” (e.g. accidents or terrorist attacks), when no dosimeters were used. These measurements are usually performed by applying thermoluminescence (TL) or optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry methods.
Retrospective dosimetry is an auxiliary science of Nuclear Forensics,...
