Ensuring safe and transparent tracking of nuclear materials in the modern era is critical for global security and compliance with international regulations. Blockchain technology, a decentralized and immutable ledger, offers a new approach to recording transactions, increasing trust without intermediaries. In this study, it was investigated whether nuclear material tracking was performed with advanced technology blockchain from past to present; it was seen that there needed to be a study on this subject in the literature, and that there was a gap. Search results proving this are presented. The authors present a model that can enable nuclear material tracking with blockchain technology, which will create a solid structure for recording and verifying every process step in the nuclear supply chain, from the creation of the first product to destruction. This model discusses how nuclear materials, which are very important to track from the beginning until they become waste, can be tracked with blockchain technology, and the contributions they can make nationally and internationally are explained. As a result of the research, it is shown that blockchain technology has the potential to pave the way for more resilient and precise nuclear supply chains by significantly increasing the security and efficiency of nuclear material tracking.

“…In their view, the researchers perceive the whole trace of the product in the supply chain as a chain of ownership transfer transactions that have happened on the product from the start of the supply chain. Bali et al (2021) has suggested a framework for Blockchain Application Design and Algorithms for Traceability in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain…”

Supply chain management in healthcare sector plays significant role in the lives of people. Presence of intermediaries and lack of traceability has lured it towards drug counterfeiting, which reduces drug efficacy, thus hampering patients' trust and putting their lives in danger. Blockchain has emerged as a groundbreaking technology which provide a system that is immutable and transparent without the requirement of a trusted third party. This paper depicts how blockchain can provide a solution to reduce drug counterfeit in the pharmaceutical supply chain. This is achieved by creating a Blockchain Network in which each participant and the drug is registered to maintain transparency of transactions among all the participants. Realtime transfer of ownership in the blockchain creates all-round visibility among the registered participants to retrieve information like the current owner, timestamp of ownership transfer and authenticity of drugs. This paper implements PharmaChain for real-time traceability and trackability information of drugs from end-to-end of the pharmaceutical supply chain.
