ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - In this paper, we provide an overview of instrument options, discuss their limitations, and examine the main gaps between needs and capabilities for their field use.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This paper describes a method to transfer collected particles into particle suspensions. Such particle suspensions could then be mixed with similar suspensions containing different types of particles, for example different isotopic composition.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This paper revisits the Currie method with attention to the false alarm probability (FAP) in Poisson and Gaussian data in non-destructive
assay (NDA) by gamma detection.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - A series of exercises and targeted meetings held by the ESARDA VTM Working Group and the INMM Nonproliferation & Arms Control Technical Division provided valuable insight into how a systems approach could help identify nonproliferation & arms control verification requirements.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - The paper describes the optimization studies made on the transducers, the angle and width of chamfers, the binary identification codes, preliminary design and testing of a reading system.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - The goal of the field trial was to demonstrate the utility of secure branching of operator instrumentation for nuclear safeguards, identify any
unforeseen implementation and application issues, and confirm whether the approach is compatible with operator concerns.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - The present paper describes the first two examples of the forward-problem approach’s application to actual real-life safeguards verification.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This paper examines literature from the fields of cognitive science and human factors in the areas of wayfinding, situational awareness, equipment and technical assistance, and knowledge transfer.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This contribution is focused on the capabilities of the self-indication neutron resonance densitometry (SINRD) for the detection of diversion from a spent fuel assembly.
