Welcome to NuFor 2022.


JOIN US AT NUFOR 2023 – DELEGATES AND CONTENT WELCOMED https://iop.eventsair.com/nufor2023

The NuFor 2022 Organising Committee wishes to thank all our participants for attending, presenting and making this year’s conference a success. In attempting to reach our objectives, NuFor brought together technical specialists and practitioners to share developments in their field with wider audiences and demonstrate the application of fundamental science to the challenges posed by Nuclear Forensics. We heard from leading experts about their journeys into science and nuclear security, sharing this with our in person and online audiences, including school and college students who make up the future of our nuclear skill base. Our delegates also made full use of the opportunities to network and form ideas for collaboration, many of which we hope to hear about at future NuFor conferences.

To quote David Smith, King’s College London, from his closing remarks: “As was said this week, unlike our siblings in the world of nuclear non-proliferation and arms control, our nuclear forensics planet is small. Nuclear forensics is a community of practitioners. My observation was to witness how we re-joined this week as scientists, nuclear security officers, law enforcement officials, professors, graduate students, students and pupils to use the common language of science to advance the cause of making our families, our cities, our nations and our alliances that much more secure. The energy we brought to this reunion may be due to a shared relief to have simply survived COVID’s isolations or may well have to with the news from eastern Europe the past fortnight that raises matters nuclear from only an institutional priority to the real ingredients of weapons of war.  What we witnessed this week was an endorsement of this community. The hard work, the innovation and the discovery shown bright. Technical outcomes were shared, friendships were renewed, new collaborations borne and existing collaborations cemented.” You can find David’s fullspeech here.

We also formally invite you to attend NuFor 2023, our 5th edition taking place on the 10-12th October 2023, where we hope to again renew and continue many of the conversations, collaborations and discuss the challenges facing the multidisciplinary field of Nuclear Forensics from this year and previous – full details can be found on our website at https://iop.eventsair.com/nufor2023

We look forward to seeing you again at NuFor.

With thanks,

The NuFor Organising Committee
