1 Science &Technology have an important role to play in Homeland Security Detection sensors, detectors, micro-chemlab, molecular recognition, atomic and molecular spectroscopy.. Prevention tracking/control of radiological materials, production methods that minimize hazardous chemicals… Protection filters, membranes, fabrics for protective clothing…. Response and Recovery catalytic destruction of chem/bio agents, actinide chemistry…

2 BES Research Fields intersect many Homeland Security needs

3 Identify critical science issues and opportunities in research areas supported by BES that will be important to our Nation's ability to detect, prevent, protect against, and respond to future terrorist threats. A report will be available that will summarize the presentations and discussions and include recommendations for future basic research investment needs. Workshop Objective Expected Outcome Basic Research Needs for Countering Terrorism

4 Chemical Threats Biological Threats Radiological and Nuclear Threats Including conventional explosives and toxic chemicals such as choking agents, blood agents, blister agents, nerve agents, and byproducts of their manufacture. Including bacteria, rickettsiae, viruses, fungi, and toxins. Gram for gram much deadlier than chemical agents. Can be bioengineered. Including nuclear explosives and radioactive materials and byproducts of their manufacture. Workshop is focused around terrorism threats* * consider interrelationships between threat areas and connections to infrastructure surety

6 Plenary talks will provide context for science and technology discussions Jay Davis, National Security Fellow, LLNL and former Director, Defense Threats Reduction Agency Keynote Speaker Radiological/Nuclear Threats Michael Anastasio, Deputy Director for Strategic Operations, LLNL Chemical Threats Micheal Sailor, Professor, The University of California at Santa Barbara Biological Threats David Franz, Vice President, Chemical and Biological Defense Div., Southern Research Institute

7 The remainder of the Workshop will focus on open discussions and writing Today 1:00 - 3:00 Breakout Sessions to identify fundamental challenges and key scientific issues associated with technology needs for countering terrorism. (Chem & Bio combined) 3:30 - 5:30 Continue Breakout Sessions to refine scientific issues and develop preliminary recommendations. (each threat area will break out separately) 6:30 Dinner Friday 8:00 - 10:00 Reports from Breakout Sessions and Large Group Discusssion 10:30 - 4:30 Breakouts to organize key points and writing, writing, writing
