Improved Safeguards System and Its Application to Large Back-End Facilities

摘要

The paper suggests that the safeguards problems of large plants could be solved by a combination of containment and surveillance, and material accountancy. The paper places considerable importance on the installation of 'anomaly detectors' at various points. These would detect movements through the containment and unusual changes in the process itself. The importance of the quantification, the contribution of accountancy and containment and surveillance system is emphasised and a mathematical approach is outlined. (Atomindex citation 11:545286)
