The U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research & Development proposes to provide financial assistance, over a period of 5 years, to the University of Michigan to establish a consortium for Monitoring, Technology, and Verification. The consortium would consist of 14 leading universities from around the country. Research would focus on three technical thrust areas: (1) fundamentals of nuclear and particle physics, (2) signals and source terms for nuclear nonproliferation, and (3) nuclear explosion monitoring. Cross-cutting areas of Monitoring, Technology, and Verification would include modeling and simulation, nuclear policy, and education and outreach.
