Twenty Years of Collaborative Materials Exercises by the Nuclear Forensics International Technical Working Group

The Collaborative Materials Exercise (CMX) series are a critical mechanism used to advance the ITWG's mission of identifying, developing and promoting the best practices of nuclear forensics. These exercises are not designed to test laboratory performance, but as learning experiences that provide opportunities for participants to test and demonstrate state-of-the-practice to the global scientific and law enforcement communities. They are run as mock nuclear forensic investigations under realistic scenarios, with timelines and conditions designed to mimic actual operations. These situations provide the relatively unique opportunity for the appropriate governmental agencies to exercise their collective response to a nuclear security incident. Utilizing well-characterized materials of a known history and origin that are taken from specific process locations within the nuclear fuel cycle, these 'real world' materials are used to fully consider the potential significance of process-derived heterogeneities and characteristics that might be used by investigators to derive useful information such as intended use, point of loss of control, process history or origin. While individual laboratory results are kept confidential, a summary of the major outcomes of each exercise is published in the open literature. The ITWG has carried out six CMXs since 1999. The sixth (CMX-6) and largest (21 participants) was completed in June 2019. Each CMX has contributed demonstrably to advancements in the state of practice and the emergence of novel techniques in nuclear forensic science.
