  2. Introduction & the 8 Radionuclides • Radiological Dispersal Device (RDDs a.k.a. “Dirty Bombs”) • ORNL Nonproliferation Programs, David Lambert -Americium-241 -Californium-252 -Cesium-137 -Cobalt-60 -Iridium-192 -Plutonium-238 -Radium-226

  3. The search • Methodology: Divided searches by continent- Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America • Priorities: What, Where, For Whom

  4. Nuclide Production Database • MySQL Database • PHP Front-end • Currently at falsedrop.com/566isotopes • Password Protected • Easily Exported

  5. Findings & Problems • Found evidence of at least 40 facilities that produce one or more of the 8 radionuclides in question • Of the eight radionuclides, the most easily obtained source information is on Cobalt-60 and Iridium-192 • How much of each radionuclide was produced by whom?

  6. Recommendations For Future Database Development • Add new production facility types • Stockpiles • Waste Facilities (Strontium and Americium) • Future/planned Facilities • Model conflicting data in cited works • Maintain a local collection of cited works
