ОписаниеThe importance of non-destructive analysis (NDA) for an IAEA inspector in the field continues to increase. There will, of course, always be a need for sample to be taken and transported to the main IAEA Safeguards Analytical Laboratory at Seibersdorf (Austria). There the samples are exhaustively analysed and the results compared against NDA methods. But the cheapness and easier logistics, of the field NDA, coupled with the increasingly stringent transport requirements for even small samples of nuclear material, will continue to make field NDA more attractive. The NDA measurements must, of course, be precise and accurate enough to allow the inspectorate to decide whether or not to accept an operator’s statement. The photo shows one of the non-destructive analysis (NDA) instrument, especially developed for IAEA’s safeguards system under test in the Agency’s Laboratory. IAEA/No.2279/4 PHOTO AEA-Pfeifer
