RN materials have chemical, isotopic, and physical characteristics which provide important clues in terms of their age and origin. The ability to characterize and categorize RN material allows NF to assist investigations related to a nuclear security incident. Furthermore, traditional forensic analysis of other evidence materials, which may be contaminated with RN material, also plays an important role in a nuclear forensic investigation. Thus, NF involves several areas of expertise, including elemental and isotopic analyses using mass spectrometry or radiometric measurements, non-destructive imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, physical characterization of RN materials in various forms, and traditional forensics.
