The Nuclear Witness: Activation Analysis in Crime Investigation, 28 minutes, color, 1966. This film illustrates the application of activation analysis to the investigation of criminal cases involving murder, burglary, and narcotics peddling.

Nuclear Fingerprinting of Ancient Pottery, 20 minutes, color, 1970. Animated sequences are used to explain several of the analytical techniques. Part of the film shows how the research is actually done in the laboratory.

The Atomic Fingerprint, 12½ minutes, color, 1964. The principles of neutron activation analysis are explained and the machines used in this work are shown. Some of its applications in crime detection, geology and soil science, analysis of art and archaeological objects, oil refining, agriculture, electronics, biology and medicine, and the space sciences are illustrated.

Neutron Activation Analysis, 40 minutes, color, 1964. This film describes the nature, potentialities, and applications of neutron activation analysis. The kinds of neutron sources used and the counting techniques are shown. Examples of applications in crime detection, geology and geochemistry, agriculture, medicine, the petroleum and chemical industries, and the semiconductor industry are shown.

The Author

Dr. Bernard Keisch received his B.S. degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his Ph.D. from Washington University. He is now a Senior Fellow at the Carnegie-Mellon Institute of Research at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He is presently engaged in a project that deals with the applications of nuclear technology to art identification. This is sponsored by the National Gallery of Art and in the past has also received support from the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science Foundation. Previously he was a nuclear research chemist with the Phillips Petroleum Company and senior scientist at the Nuclear Science and Engineering Corporation. He has contributed articles on art authentication to a number of journals. For ERDA, in addition to this booklet, he has written The Mysterious Box: Nuclear Science and Art, Lost Worlds: Nuclear Science and Archaeology, and Secrets of the Past: Nuclear Energy Applications in Art and Archaeology.
