How does this apply to DOE? Off Site Source Recovery Project (OSRP) The DOE NNSA Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Radiological Material Removal Program’s Off-Site Source Recovery Project recovered more than 1 million curies of radioactive sources since 1999. This accomplishment represents a major milestone in protecting our nation and the world from material that could be used in “dirty bombs” by terrorists.

Chem. Cam – Mars Curiosity Rover Looking at rocks and soils from a distance, Chem. Cam fires a laser and analyzes the elemental composition of vaporized materials from areas smaller than 1 millimeter on the surface of Martian rocks and soils. Chem. Cam also uses the laser to clear away dust from Martian rocks and a remote camera to acquire extremely detailed images. The camera can resolve features 5 to 10 times smaller than those visible with cameras on NASA's two Mars Exploration Rovers that began exploring the red planet in January 2004. In the event the Mars Science Laboratory rover can't reach a rock or outcrop of interest, Chem. Cam has the capability to analyze it from a distance.
