Role of Chemical Engineering in Nuclear Forensics

Wednesday, November 10, 2010: 3:15 PM
SnowBird Room (Marriott Downtown)

Description:
This session involves papers related to nuclear forensics. Forensics is a challenging interdisciplinary approach that bridges many disciplines. Chemical and nuclear engineering, chemistry, and transportation engineering play major roles in defining, finding, and determining the best, most accurate, and fast approaches in detecting the impacts of hazardous and nuclear material release, finding their origins and release pathways, determining and predicting their transportation routes, predicting the pathways of release and their effects, finding the solutions for minimizing negative effects, and developing the scenarios for safe and fast removal of the potential threat.
