摘要

Surrogate nuclear explosion debris (SNED) has become essential for advancing post-detonation nuclear forensic capabilities in the absence of accessible historic materials. This review critically examines the principal SNED synthesis methodologies—including laser melting, sol–gel processing, exploding wires, substrate loading, and furnace melting—highlighting their strengths, limitations, and forensic relevance. Emphasis is placed on emerging needs for urban debris analogs, realistic radionuclide fractionation, and environmental aging considerations. Key knowledge gaps and future research directions are identified to support improved attribution, analytical validation, and nuclear event response readiness.
