Safer borders against nuclear terror.

Good on it Boys, looks like we've got a technological breakthrough witch can really mean better security. Anybody know if this technology is being deployed in our shipyards, borders, etc.?


A team of Los Alamos scientists—Konstantin Borozdin, Gary Hogan, Chris Morris, Bill Priedhorsky, Andy Saunders, Larry Schultz, Margaret Teasdale, John Gomez, and Val Armijo—has found a promising way to use this natural source of radiation to detect terrorist attempts to smuggle uranium or plutonium into the country. Either nuclear material could be used to make an atomic bomb (see sidebar). The technique also detects lead and tungsten, which could be used to shield the gamma rays emitted by nuclear materials—or other radioactive materials—in order to elude detection.

Yes! This is the kind of stuff we need to make a "Sum of all fears"-scenario impossible.

Thanks for posting.

I'm not sure what you said, but Los Alamos is part of the reason WW2 ended quicker than it did.

world war2 ended than nuclear weapons test . i did not know about it . sorry but where the losalamos ? we called the losalamos is not here in europe . look likes the called losalamos's atmosphea its likes outskirt of us who did the nuclear weapons . ithink in the losalamos never living . may be still the nuclear weapons a some victim there is .
