Kenton J.Moody earned a bachelor of science degree in physical chemistry from the
University of California at Santa Barbara in 1977. He attended graduate school at UC
Berkeley, where he studied with Nobel Laureate Glenn Seaborg (the discoverer of
plutonium), and received a Ph.D. in 1983 with a specialty in actinide radiochemistry.
Following a two-year stay at the Gesellschaft fuer Schwerionenforschung (a German
accelerator laboratory), he joined the Nuclear Chemistry Division at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory (LLNL) in 1985, where he has performed extensive diagnostic
radiochemical measurements in support of various national security programs.
He is currently the technical lead for two research groups at LLNL, one focused on the
radiochemistry of the weapons in the U.S. nuclear stockpile and the other on basic
research on the heaviest elements (the latter in collaboration with physicists at accelerator
laboratories in the former Soviet Union). In addition to numerous classified reports
detailing the performance of nuclear explosive devices, he has co-authored more than
ninety refereed journal publications in the subject areas of the decay properties of the
heaviest elements, nuclear reaction mechanisms, fission, and nuclear structure. He has
co-discovered four chemical elements and more than three dozen heavy-element isotopes.
Ian Hutcheon is currently the deputy director of the Glenn T.Seaborg Institute and the
scientific capability leader for chemical and isotopic signatures in the Chemical Biology
and Nuclear Science Division at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Prior to
this position, he was a Senior Research Associate in the Division of Geological and
Planetary Science at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. His technical
training is in physics and geochemistry: he received an A.B. at Occidental College in
1969 and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1975. He
then spent two years as a post-doctoral fellow and five years as a senior research
associate in the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago.
He has authored over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals in the areas of
secondary-ion mass spectrometry, the early history of the solar system, and nuclear
forensic analysis. He also serves on the review panels of the NASA Cosmochemistry
Program and the Sample Return Laboratory Instruments and Data Analysis Program. He
is a member of the American Geophysical Union, the Meteoritic Society, and the
Microbeam Analysis Society.
Patrick M.Grant earned B.S. (1967) and Ph.D. (1973) degrees in chemistry from the
University of California. He worked in radiochemistry and nuclear medicine at Los
Alamos National Laboratory for eight years, and was an associate group leader for
medical radioisotope research and production. He then spent two years in the oil, gas, and
minerals industry at Chevron Research Company. He has been a staff member at
Livermore National Laboratory since 1983, serving as the deputy director and special
operations and samples manager of the Forensic Science Center. Pat has also held
positions as a senior nuclear reactor operator and as an adjunct university professor of
chemistry. He has served as a subgroup member of the U.S. National Security Council’s
Coordinating Committee on Terrorism and is a member of Livermore’s Emergency
Response Team. He is also a charter member of the FBI Scientific Working Group on the
Forensic Analysis of Radiological Materials.
In addition to numerous classified and law-enforcement reports, he has authored or co-
authored more than 100 refereed publications in the open literature in the subject areas of
chemistry, physics, nuclear medicine, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, forensic science,
and incident analysis. He has won the Health Physics Society’s Silverman Award in
radiobiology and a Department of Energy Award of Excellence. He is a Fellow of both
the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the American College of Forensic
Examiners International, and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of
Forensic Sciences. One of his unclassified investigations, a scientific explanation for the
Riverside Hospital Emergency Room “Mystery Fumes” incident, has been highlighted in
popular magazines and been the subject of world-wide television features.

This book provides a primary reference source for nuclear forensic science, including the vastly disciplinary nature of the overall endeavor for questioned weapons of mass-destruction specimens. Nothing like this exists even in the classified material. For the first time, the fundamental principles of radioforensic analysis, all pertinent protocols and procedures, computer modeling development, interpretational insights, and attribution considerations are consolidated into one convenient source. The principles and techniques so developed are then demonstrated and discussed in their applications to real-world investigations and casework conducted over the past several years.
