Abstract
Until recently, high-purity germanium (HPGe) was used only by small, select teams of specialists in field applications for nuclear materials detection in national defense, treaty verification, and interdiction applications. Recent advances in technology of hardware and software has enabled widespread deployment of HPGe-based tools which dramatically expand the envelope of information available to personnel previously outside the ‘circle’ of nuclear measurement experts. This paper describes the technological advances as well as the practical implications of these new tools for counter-terrorism, non-proliferation, homeland security, and post-accident triage applications.
