In collaboration with the IAEA, Euratom, and external partners, research is conducted on innovative safeguards concepts, methods, and techniques for nuclear facilities. The aim is to continuously enhance the state of the art of science and technology to effectively safeguard nuclear facilities.

These safeguards technologies include non-destructive measurement techniques as well as containment and surveillance measures. In addition, facility-specific safeguards measures such as statistical analysis methods, digital twins, and data science approaches are being developed that are tailored to the requirements of safeguarding nuclear facilities.

Furthermore, technological foundations and relevant verification mechanisms are being developed within the framework of non-proliferation.
