What Does SNM Stand For?

SNM stands for Special Nuclear Material

SNM, or Special Nuclear Material, refers to materials that are defined by regulatory authorities as capable of being used in the production of nuclear explosive devices or in the fabrication of nuclear fuel. This category typically includes isotopes of uranium, plutonium, and certain other actinides that require stringent controls and security measures to prevent proliferation and ensure safety. The management, handling, and transportation of SNM are governed by a set of laws and regulations to mitigate risks associated with nuclear materials.
