NuSec Science Network - Summer 2018 Pilot Projects Awards

Following an external competition in Spring 2018, the NuSec Security Science Network made 5 awards to 4 Universities for early stage research, on topics that could enhance the field of nuclear security. Each award was worth around £4,000. Some outputs are now available to download.
