国家核法证图书馆是一个有用的核法证工具，其中包括关于一国境内生产、使用或储存的放射性材料和核材料的信息和专题专门知识。如果发现核材料不受监管，NNFL可用作核取证调查的一部分，以帮助确定该材料是否与一个国家的国家持有量一致。在以前的工作中，一些签名，这可能是有用的，以确定密封源的241 Am进行了调查。为了验证测量结果，向美国国家核实验室的国际联络点（POC）美国国务院发出了一份关于先前调查的两个241 Am源的正式询问。这项工作的目的是显示如何在一个放射源的特性所获得的数据可以与一个NNFL一起使用，以调查的历史，一个源的监管控制。
A National Nuclear Forensic Library (NNFL) is a useful nuclear forensics tool which consists of information and subject matter expertise on radioactive and nuclear (RN) materials produced, used or stored within a State. If RN material is found out of regulatory control the NNFL can be used as part of a nuclear forensics investigation to help identify whether or not the material is consistent with a country’s national holdings. In previous work, a number of signatures which can be useful to identify sealed sources of 241 Am were investigated. To validate the measurement results, an official query concerning information about two of the previously investigated 241 Am sources was sent to the United States Department of State, the international point-of-contact (POC) for the U.S. NNFL. The aim of this work is to show how data obtained in a characterization of a radioactive source can be used in conjunction with an NNFL to investigate the history of a source out of regulatory control.
