International Atomic Energy Agency: New IAEA Research Project to Improve Cultural Heritage Authentication and Provenance Techniques Using Nuclear Science. “The IAEA’s work on cultural heritage focuses on four pillars: non-destructive analysis, radiation-based conservation, combating illicit trafficking and cross-disciplinary research… This work supports the IAEA’s mission to promote the […]

'Plutonium has been described as a physicist’s dream and an engineer’s nightmare because of its superb nuclear properties and confounding physical properties. Compared to uranium, plutonium is more efficient at fission...But it has six different phases, or crystalline forms, that vary in density by up to 25 percent, and modest changes in temperature or pressure can provoke it to go from being as malleable as aluminum to as brittle as glass'
