RSSNon-destructive assay sampling of nuclear fuel before encapsulation
ESARDA Bulletin N.56 - This paper discusses the correctness of the fuel assembly declarations, translating into a verification (or determination) of the fuel parameters such as initial enrichment, burnup and cooling time.
GOSSER - Geological Safeguards and Security R&D Project in Finland - How STUK prepares itself for the Final Disposal in Finland
ESARDA Bulletin N.56 - GOSSER’s main objective is the finalisation of the national Finnish concept for safeguarding the final disposal of the spent nuclear fuel. This concept and related R&D efforts are coordinated with the Finnish facilities, European Commission and the IAEA.

Hybrid Gamma Emission Tomography for the Verification of Unirradiated Fuel: A Viability Study
ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - This paper discusses potential IAEA use cases and implementation approaches, a novel method for modeling instrument response that couples Monte Carlo and deterministic transport methods, candidate signatures, and a method for extracting fissile isotope concentrations.
Outcomes of the JNT 1955 Phase I Viability Study of Gamma Emission Tomography for Spent Fuel Verification
ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - This paper describes the analysis framework and metrics used to predict tomographer performance. It also presents the design of a “universal” GET (UGET) instrument intended to support the full range of verification scenarios envisioned by the IAEA.
Signatures from the spent fuel: simulations and interpretation of the data with neural network analysis
ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - This work reports first about the efforts done at SCK•CEN on simulating detector response functions for different types of NDA instruments such as the Fork detector, the ForkBall detector and SINRD detectors.
Sealing Systems in German Spent Fuel Storage Facilities
ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - This paper describes the current issues related to sealing devices in the German on-site spent fuel dry storage facilities (SFSFs) related to the Germany’s energy transition.
Self-calibration Method for Dead Time Losses in Neutron Counting Systems
ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - In this paper we present a novel self-calibrating method for the determination and correction of dead time losses that uses directly the neutron signal from real measured material.
Containment and Surveillance Systems – reflections on future technologies
ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - This paper deals with the time after NGSS. It is time to design the technology that follows, to discuss the requirements for C/S systems in a broader sense, to study the very volatile general technical environment and select options for further development.
2017 ESARDA Symposium - 39th ESARDA Annual Meeting
The 39th ESARDA symposium on Safeguards and Nuclear Non-Proliferation was held in Düsseldorf, Germany from 16-18 May, 2017.
