Abstract

THE DOMESTIC PROBLEM of nuclear safeguards is that of ensuring, so far as possible, that significant amounts of nuclear materials do not become lost, strayed or stolen, and to do so without interfering unnecessarily with free enterprise and at a price that the nation can reasonably afford.

Physicists are contributing to the safeguards program by perfecting the technical means to carry out policy.
