Abstract

Developing Nuclear Forensics Signatures and National Nuclear Forensics Libraries for the African Continent: A Case Review for South Africa

Manny Mathuthu and Ntokozo Khumalo

Nuclear terrorism has led to the development of National Nuclear Forensics Libraries (NNFL) from signatures by each Member State of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The objective of this Review is to highlight the need for Africa States especially South Africa to set-up their own Nuclear Forensic Laboratories that will apply available techniques to develop NNFL for their nuclear material. An overview of some applicable techniques is given as well as a few demonstrative results.
