DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

A new equation-of-state (EOS) of xenon at high temperatures and pressures has been developed. The equation is based on a multiparametric formulation of the corresponding states principle, and it is suitable for implementation in computer codes for the analysis of fission gas bubble kinetics. A comparison with previous formulations of the EOS of xenon shows that the new equation could be used with advantage to predict the behavior of nonequilibrium bubbles during fast transients.
