Such sampling, focused on analysis of the relative abundance of a few key isotopes, can be used to determine the time of a nuclear explosion to an uncertainty of a few hours or less even if the measurements are made several weeks after the event. The sampling could also reliably distinguish nuclear explosions from a deposit of nuclear waste.} }
