Analysis
- Gamma spectrometry [r]: Methods in nuclear chemistry and radiation analysis that measure the characteristics of quanta of gamma rays from a source; the analysis is not direct on the gammas, but typically on an effect caused by them, such as the rates and energy distribution of specific gamma quanta impacting on a scintillating material and producing light to be measured [e]
Supporting systems
- XM93 Fuchs (nuclear, biological, chemical reconnaissance vehicle) [r]: Nuclear, biological, chemical reconnaissance vehicle developed for the German Army and used by many countries; modified to a standard vehicle by the U.S. Army; to be replaced in US service by the M1135 nuclear, biological, chemical reconnaissance vehicle [e]
- M1135 nuclear, biological, chemical reconnaissance vehicle [r]: (NBC RV) Part of the Stryker vehicle family but to be used in both the Stryker and Heavy Brigade Combat Teams, a nuclear, biological, chemical reconnaissance vehicle for battlefield detection and survey; will replace the XM93 Fuchs (nuclear, biological, chemical reconnaissance vehicle) [e]
- Nuclear fuel cycle [r]: The progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages, also called the nuclear fuel chain. [e]
- Nuclear weapon [r]: an extremely dangerous bomb based atomic fission (the "atom bomb" or A-bomb) or fusion (the "hydrogen" or H-bomb); a powerful conventional bomb is also needed to trigger the atomic reaction. [e]
- Nuclear fuel cycle [r]: The progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages, also called the nuclear fuel chain. [e]
- Release other than attack [r]: A NATO-originated term for the accidental dispersion of radioactive, biological or chemical contaminants, resulting from causes other than attacks by NBC weapons, excluding friendly attacks on adversary NBC weapons or adversary facilities containing NBC weapons. [e]
- Chernobyl Disaster [r]: A nuclear reactor accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, in 1986, considered to be the worst nuclear power plant disaster in history and the only level 7 instance on the International Nuclear Event Scale. [e]\
