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.

Detailed three-dimensional neutronics analysis has been performed for ITER with the U.S. solid breeder blanket utilizing sintered product materials for both the breeder and multiplier. The overall tritium breeding ratio is 0.81 with two outboard breeder zones and 0.89 for the three outboard breeder zone design option. The total reactor thermal power is 1150 MW in the technology phase.
