Sandia develops defenses to thwart nuclear theft
Scientists at Sandia laboratories near Albuquerque devise a foam filling for vaults and trucks, armored carriers, and electronic lockdowns to deter theft of plutonium and highly enriched uranium. A test with a mock container showed foam and bedsprings resisted cutting, while an Army demolition squad failed to reach the cargo quickly. The system includes foam infill, classified truck walls, a unique electronic tumbler, alarms, and a distress switch. Manufacturers anticipate possible, but greatly deterred, theft by the early 1980s.
