DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

The paper reviews the latest results of the numerical optimization of the powerful 14 MeV neutron source based on gas dynamic trap (GDT). Further experiments on the existing GDT device in Novosibirsk, which are planned to prove the key physical issues of the plasma confinement in the neutron source, are also discussed in the paper
