Investigation of Nazi uranium could help stop modern nuclear smuggling

Cubes of uranium salvaged from Nazi Germany's atomic bomb programme during the second world war are being analysed to confirm their origin, and the method could help law enforcement investigate illegal trafficking of nuclear material

This artist?s rendering shows a NIF target pellet inside a hohlraum capsule with laser beams entering through openings on either end. The beams compress and heat the target to the necessary conditions for nuclear fusion to occur. Ignition experiments on NIF are the result of more than 50 years of inertial confinement fusion research and development, opening the door to exploration of previously inaccessible physical regimes
