ASTM C 1112
Encyclopedia
ASTM C 1112 is a standard
Guide for Application of Radiation Monitors to the Control and Physical Security
of Special Nuclear Material.
This standard was created by the American Standard for Testing and Materials ASTM International
and published in June 1999. This guide deals with technical documentation to give information for selecting, calibrating, testing, and operating concerning one part of a nuclear material
control or security plan for nuclear materials. This concerns radiation monitors and searching pedestrians, packages, and motor vehicles for concealed Special Nuclear Material (SNM). SNM are commercially available in three different forms: Small Hand-Held Monitors, Automatic Pedestrian Monitors, and Automatic Vehicle Monitors.
The main keywords to present this standard are: material control and accountability, nuclear materials management, radiation monitors, safeguards, security, SNM.

Nuclear weapon
A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission bomb test released the same amount...
