Through this project, IFIN-HH aims to establish the first nuclear forensic laboratory in Romania dedicated to the analysis of materials containing uranium, plutonium or their offspring. This objective has been defined for the purpose of strengthening national security and research capacities in the field. Nuclear forensics is a new multi-disciplinary science that deals with the investigation of nuclear materials, determining their physico-chemical characteristics based on advanced technologies in nuclear physics, chemistry and material science, using dedicated equipment. A major advantage to achieve the intended purpose is the existence of top infrastructures in IFIN-HH: the AMS system from the Tandetron 1 MV accelerator, the elemental analysis systems from the Tandetron 3 MV accelerator. They will be used in a new methodology dedicated to nuclear forensics. In order to fully equip the laboratory according to international standards, however, it is necessary to purchase complex, state-of-the-art equipment, which will be used for complementary analyses of physico-chemical characterisation of samples of interest. Upon completion of the project, the laboratory will have the technical capabilities necessary for a complete characterisation of a nuclear material such as uranium, plutonium, MOX (uranium oxides and plutonium), etc. of unknown origin to deduce its origin, the date of production, the technological processes used and other information that is necessary for the State authorities to combat effectively the illegal trafficking of radioactive materials. The implementation of this project will contribute to national and international security by strengthening capabilities for prevention, detection and response to nuclear terrorism and to the achievement of the objectives of the GICNT (The Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism) and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) of which Romania is a part. Enable integration into the International Technical Working on Nuclear Forensics (ITWG) nuclear forensics community. In conclusion, we can say that the project contributes to reducing nuclear safety risks by improving technical skills and human resources in the field of nuclera forensics and by developing innovative methods to combat nuclear terrorism and illegal uranium and plutonium trafficking across borders. Also, the Nuclear Forensics Laboratory and the innovative solutions developed within it will be the technical pillar of a decision-support system for integration into international networks to combat nuclear terrorism (IAEA, ITWG, GICNT, etc.).
