Nuclear Science for Stockpile Stewardship

Stockpile Stewardship is based on our ability to make predicitons in complex systems for which a number of physics desciplines are required: material properties at high temperature and pressure, high energy density physics and nuclear physics. This talk will provide an overview of the role of nuclear science, both physics and radio-chemisty, with repect to both short term and long term needs of stockpile stewardship.
