DNDO, DHS, TSA, and a host of commercial outfits actually did quite a lot in the area of detecting nuke threats. That’s where the ASP program came from, among several other systems.
Lots of basic research and engineering efforts were completed (I did some work looking at advanced scintillators like CeYAG and TlBr).
The fact that the results don’t get reported like NASCAR results is regrettable, but perhaps it’s better if the bad guys don’t know which highways have gamma scanners buried in the offramps.
