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 solution of transport problems in semi-infinite media when the scattering function is an N'th-order polynomial is considered. Case's singular eigenfunction expansion is used to obtain a compact solution of Milne's problem in the nonconservative case in terms of an appropriate X function. The coefficients of the M + 1 discrete eigenfunctions are found by solving a nonhomogeneous set of N + M + 1 algebraic linear equations. The coefficient of the continuum of eigenfunctions and the emergent flux are at last reported.
