摘要

The concept of nuclear forensic signatures for interdicted nuclear materials is generally understood to include isotopic ratios, trace element impurity ratios, material age and morphological aspects of the material. In contrast, radiological forensic signatures for radiological sealed sources focus more on the physical design and chemical composition of the source capsule and containers, physical markings indicative of an owner or manufacturer, and isotopically determined material age. Argonne and Idaho National Laboratories have been working since 2003 on understanding signatures that could be used to identify specific source manufacturers. These signatures include source materials of construction, dimensions, weld details, elemental composition, and isotopic abundances of the radioactive material. These signatures have been collected in a library, known as the International Sealed Source Database, which contains more up-to-date information on radioactive source signatures than any other database/library in the world. Collection of material for the database has included open source information from vendor catalogs and web pages, discussions with source manufacturers and touring of production facilities (both protected through non-disclosure agreements), technical publications, and government registries such as the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Sealed Source and Device Registry. Based on the information collected, profiles of source manufacturers and distributors have been developed. Details of the International Sealed Source Database will be described. Additionally, Argonne and Idaho National Laboratories have been working on verification of signature information obtained through laboratory analysis and age dating techniques. In the event of a terrorist obtaining and possibly detonating a device with radiological material, analysis of the material and source capsule could provide law enforcement with valuable clues to the origin of the material; this information could then provide further leads on where the source or material was obtained.
