Impurity Diffusion as a Possible Metal Chronometer for Pre-Detonation Nuclear Forensics
Impurity Diffusion as a Possible Metal Chronometer for Pre-Detonation Nuclear Forensics is a scholarly work, published in 2015 in ''International Journal of Nuclear Security''. The main subjects of the publication include impurity, explosive chemicals, nuclear weapon, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, nuclear material, nuclear engineering, nuclear physics, detonation, diffusion, actinide chemistry, materials science, and grain boundary. Parallels are drawn from studies of diffusion in mineral samples under geologic time and proposes modifications to that approach in order to determine the time since a metal sample was cast or formed.
