ESARDA Bulletin N.61 - Measurements were per formed using multiple mechanically cooled high-purity germanium detectors at six positions around standard industrial 30B cylinders of UF6 to assess if matrix inhomogeneity is detectable and its impacts on the measured apparent uranium enrichment.

ESARDA Bulletin N.61 - We report here on the results of PGET measurements at the Finnish nuclear power plants during the years 2017-2020. The PGET prototype device developed by IAEA and partners was used during 2017-2019, whereas an updated device was used in 2020.

ESARDA Bulletin N.61 - This paper describes a methodology to identify partial defects in modelled spent nuclear fuel using passive gamma spectroscopy data. A fuel library, developed with Serpent2, was used to calculate the material composition of spent nuclear fuel.

ESARDA Bulletin N.61 - This work serves to demonstrate that with an adequate number of radiation dose measurements, it may also be possible to image source material using luminescence dosimetry.

ESARDA Bulletin N.61 - In this article, we summarize key points relevant for international safeguards from extensive literature in the cognitive science sub-domains of attention, cognitive biases, cognitive off-loading and knowledge transfer, the prevalence effect, sleep, stress, task switching...

Third issue of the ESARDA Connector newsletter released in autumn 2020.

ESARDA Bulletin N.60, The International Journal of Nuclear Safeguards and Non-Proliferation

ESARDA Bulletin N.60 - The paper reviews the background and key aspects of strategic export controls, discussing their contents and relevance to countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction as well as the synergies with nuclear safeguards, describing challenges and open issues.
