Nuclear Explosion Monitoring in the Changing Arctic

As the Arctic warms and loses its perennial ice cover, it attracts new attention as a locus for resource extraction, commerce, communication, and defense. The region previously had a relatively low priority in global geopolitics due to operational challenges but is quickly attracting interest for economic growth, competition, and potential conflict. Future years and decades will see a transformation of the Arctic’s place in global geopolitics. In this context, monitoring both human and natural activity in the Arctic is increasingly critical.

Explosively Formed Helical Closure for Radioactive Material Packaging

Benefits • Allows for the creation of features in thin-walled metal parts that would otherwise be impossible or impractical to create. • Reduces margin of error during radioactive material package closure. • Increases efficiency of package closure and opening. Applications and Industries • The tooling and method could be used to create closures for any industrial application. There may be use for the geometry produced by the tooling and method that is outside of closures.
