【 摘 要 】

The smuggling of nuclear materials is a matter of grave consequence, and if allowed to occur in sufficient amount, could lead to nuclear terrorism or nuclear proliferation. This paper describes a framework created for the Department of Energy's contribution to national and international efforts to prevent and detect nuclear smuggling. With such a framework, opportunities for rapid gains in smuggling prevention can be found as well as funding gaps.
