Los Alamos National Laboratory expertise helped the Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) Radiological Material Removal Program's Off-Site Source Recovery Project (OSRP) recover more than 1 million curies of radioactive sources since 1999. The accomplishment represents a major milestone in protecting our nation and the world from material that could be used in "dirty bombs" by terrorists.
