Experimental validation of a nuclear forensics methodology for source reactor-type discrimination of chemically separated plutonium

An experimental validation of a nuclear forensics methodology for the source reactor-type discrimination of separated weapons-useable plutonium is presented. The methodology uses measured values of intra-element isotope ratios of plutonium and fission product contaminants. MCNP radiation transport c...
