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.

We summarize our recent 1½-D simulations of ITER performance. These simulations establish the feasibility and robustness against uncertainties of the radiative mantle as an important element in the ITER radiative power exhaust solution. They also establish the feasibility of a reduced-cost ITER option.
