“…Many of the instruments employed for analysis of nuclear materials were initially developed for conventional chemical samples, leading to parallel development of these technologies for academic, industrial, and security applications. ,,,− A handful of previous publications have summarized important analytical methods in nuclear forensics; ,,,− this Review will instead focus primarily on detailing the impacts of fundamental and applied chemistry, especially inorganic and materials chemistry, in the development of nuclear forensics. Future capabilities for nuclear forensic science will also be discussed, with an emphasis on recent developments in chemical microanalysis.…”
