Description
Please submit your abstract by the 10th of January, 2025 to be considered to be part of the next ESARDA Symposium.
The recent increased interest in nuclear power production and the many new advanced and small modular reactor with innovative fuel concepts being proposed will require new safeguards approaches, creating new opportunities but also new challenges to safeguards and non-proliferation. Additionally, safeguards and non-proliferation challenges associated with the Long Term Operation of existing nuclear power plant fleets, the interim storage of used nuclear fuel and the final disposal of waste require due attention from all parties involved in nuclear safeguards, including the facility operators, the national and regional authorities, the inspectorates and the research community, to develop innovative solutions to increase safeguards effectiveness and efficiency.
To discuss these topics and much more, the European and international safeguards community will meet in Antwerp, Belgium, from 12th till 16th of May, 2025 to exchange ideas on and discuss the latest research results on concepts, tools and technologies for safeguards, to report on in-field testing of new equipment and approaches, to share best practices on safeguards implementation and inspections, to analyze current safeguards analysis techniques, approaches and methodologies and to present on strategic trade control. The use of the latest digital technologies and the capacity building strategies through training and education will also be the subject of intense and thorough exchanges.
