R. Scott Kemp
MIT nuclear-security scholar and corresponding author, with Jake J. Hecla, of the 2026 physics reconstruction of Russia's classified Burevestnik cruise missile (arXiv:2607.01234) — the paper's propulsion, power, and radionuclide-signature findings anchor four vault notes. Kemp's standing as a named nuclear-security researcher (rather than an anonymous OSINT account) is part of why the vault treats the model's numbers as Tier 1: a credentialed physicist's own quantitative claim about his own method, not a secondary retelling.
