SUMMARY:NE Seminar: "The Development and Evolution of Post Detonation Nucle
 ar Forensics at LANL"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAfter creating and testing the first atomic bomb\, Lo
 s Alamos National Laboratory was instrumental in developing the US nuclear
  stockpile. In support of this mission\, LANL scientists needed to invent 
 a means for evaluating weapons performance.\n\nLacking readily accessible 
 nuclear data during the early days of weapons testing\, LANL developed an 
 ingenious system to determine device yield through beta decay measurements
  of radionuclides separated from nuclear debris.\n\nThis talk will cover t
 he development of this unique method\, why it is still used today and how 
 advances in technology have allowed this method to evolve in support of st
 ockpile stewardship.\nBio\nDaniel Meininger\, Ph.D.\nStaff Scientist\nLos 
 Alamos National Laboratory\nDr. Daniel Meininger received his B.S. in Env
 ironmental Chemistry with a minor in Biology from Hartwick College (2008).
  He went on to complete a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry at the University o
 f Texas at San Antonio (2015).\n\nDaniel was then given an opportunity at 
 Los Alamos National Laboratory as a post-doctoral researcher in the Chemis
 try Division on the Radiochemistry Team\, where he focused on developing t
 echniques to measure new signatures in nuclear debris. Daniel was hired as
  a full-time staff scientist in 2018\, and he continues to support nationa
 l nuclear forensics capabilities. Through his support of both operational 
 work and R&amp\;D\, he has developed expertise in the areas of nuclear mat
 erial dissolution\, separations chemistry (fission products\, actinides an
 d stable isotopes)\, and analysis techniques (both radiometric and mass sp
 ectrometric).\n\nDaniel is currently the LANL point of contact for the Int
 egrated University Program Consortium for Nuclear Forensics\, funded by th
 e National Nuclear Security Administration.
