ESARDA Bulletin N.59 - The project is evaluating a number of candidate fast neutron detectors and conducting a parametric design study for a prototype instrument.

ESARDA Bulletin N.59 - A Proliferation Trade Risk metric has been calculated for each country represented in a publicly-available global trade dataset. This metric, comprising both direct and indirect proliferation trade risk components.

ESARDA Bulletin N.58, The International Journal of Nuclear Safeguards and Non-Proliferation

ESARDA Bulletin N.58 - The paper describes research to-date on the sensor compounds and microspheres.

ESARDA Bulletin N.58 - In this paper we focus on the application of Artificial Neural Networks to simulated Self-Interrogation Neutron Resonance Densitometry observables with the aim to quantify the 239Pu content in spent fuel.

ESARDA Bulletin N.58 - In this work, the Cherenkov light intensity of a PWR 17x17 assembly with two different RCCA inserts were simulated and analysed, and compared to the Cherenkov light intensity from an assembly without an insert.

ESARDA Bulletin N.58 - The results from the study show that the selection of the detector type used as input in the machine learning model has a strong impact on the accuracy of the developed model.

ESARDA Bulletin N.58 - In this paper, we propose a parametrization of the early die-away time as a function of initial enrichment (IE), burn-up (BU) and cooling time (CT), for intact PWR spent fuel assemblies.

ESARDA Bulletin N.58 - The paper discusses how to set up optimal sampling plans depending on the verification instruments, the assumed detection capabilities of these verification instruments, and the presumed diversion strategies.
