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.

Powerful plasma streams interaction with the mirror magnetic field as well as the efficiency of plasma magnetization under its propagation along the uniform magnetic field is analysed. The plasma streams produced by full block quasi-steady-state plasma accelerator (QSPA). Some results of thermal quench disruption simulations carried out with irradiation of solid targets by high energy plasma streams are presented in this paper.
