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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The 39th ESARDA symposium on Safeguards and Nuclear Non-Proliferation was held in Düsseldorf, Germany from 16-18 May, 2017.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54, The International Journal of Nuclear Safeguards and Non-Proliferation

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 - 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.
