LANL Releases

• LANL Actinide Research Quarterly, Packaging and Repatriation of US-Origin Radioactive Sources: Projects in New Delhi and Mumbai, Issue 1, June 2014 (see page 13)
• Los Alamos expertise helps NNSA reduce global nuclear danger, Press Release, December 22, 2014.

Rick Day of Los Alamos National Laboratory's International Threat Reduction group and the Off-Site Source Recovery Project (OSRP) holds a non-radioactive training mockup of what a typical cobalt-60 source might look like. The source is similar to what OSRP team members recovered from a site in Maryland in late 2014, putting the number of Curies recovered as part of the project above 1 million since the project began in 1999. OSRP recovers and disposes of unwanted radioactive sealed sources, eliminating a potential threat that could be used by terrorists to create "dirty bombs."
