Defence Nuclear Materials are moved using the following transport means: Trident nuclear weapons, special nuclear material (SNM) and new submarine reactor fuel are transported by road. Used reactor fuel from Royal Navy submarines is transported by rail (and may involve a short road journey to the railhead). Special nuclear material is also ...
The Office of Secure Transportation (OST) is a highly-specialized law enforcement division of the National Nuclear Security Administration within the United States Department of Energy. The OST's mission is to provide safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons and components and special nuclear materials and conduct other missions in ...
The Monte Carlo method for radiation particle transport has its origins at LANL dates back to 1946. [3] The creators of these methods were Stanislaw Ulam, John von Neumann, Robert Richtmyer, and Nicholas Metropolis. [4] Monte Carlo for radiation transport was conceived by Stanislaw Ulam in 1946 while playing Solitaire while recovering from an ...
Neutron transport (also known as neutronics) is the study of the motions and interactions of neutrons with materials. Nuclear scientists and engineers often need to know where neutrons are in an apparatus, in what direction they are going, and how quickly they are moving.
To act as a catalyst and facilitator bringing members together to exchange views on radioactive materials transport issues and to participate in appropriate meetings, conferences and media briefings; [13] To support research, development and testing of packaging and systems for the transport of radioactive materials.

Nuclear transport refers to the mechanisms by which molecules move across the nuclear membrane of a cell. The entry and exit of large molecules from the cell nucleus ...
The Journal of Nuclear Materials is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal on materials research for accelerator physics, nuclear power generation and fuel cycle applications. It was established in 1959 and is published by Elsevier. The current editor-in-chief is Gary S. Was (University of Michigan).
