Exploiting passive gamma signals from weapons grade plutonium and highly enriched uranium for weapons pit storage

Using computational deterministic and Monte Carlo methods, I present an analysis of the gamma and neutron signatures emitted from special nuclear material (SNM) in weapons stockpile storage scenarios. My efforts are focused on 1 year old, 25 year old, 50 year old, and 75 year old highly enriched ura...
