Abstract:
For safeguards evaluators to provide credible assurance that States are honoring their safeguards obligations, quantitative conclusions regarding non-diversion from States’ nuclear material flows and inventories are needed. The statistical analysis used to reach these conclusions requires that each measurement method undergo uncertainty quantification (UQ). Training for safeguards inspectors includes measurement error models that must account for variation within and between groups, where a group is defined to be a calibration or inspection period...
