Beschreibungen/Notizen

•   The paper deals with the analysis of radiation barriers against proliferation focusing on denatured plutonium compositions and associated with the process of plutonium denaturing by some other heavy metals. The issue is discussed from the viewpoint of radiation dose induced by both gamma and neutron radiation, thus reflecting the technical and human resources the potential proliferators should have to meet the challenge of making a nuclear explosive.
