The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) was asked to provide information on the removal of the memory effect from an incinerator’s pollution abatement system after it becomes contaminated with dioxins and furans. The overarching objective is to eliminate dioxin and furan emissions. However, realistic goals are centered on locating the most cost-effective way to maintain a subthreshold dioxin and furan emission. The…

This work will demonstrate how ubiquitous radiological characterization can take place throughout all nuclear facilities for all nuclear material (even those facilities the United States does not know exist). The presentation will detail how this technology is passively integrated into current and future nuclear facilities. The fundamental physics utilized for such grandiose claims are thermoluminescence,…
