ABOUT
As part of international nuclear safeguards, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Commission (Directorate-General for Energy, Euratom) apply technical monitoring and verification measures to ensure the peaceful use of nuclear materials and nuclear facilities by member states.
New technological advances, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, data analysis, and measuring technology, are expanding the possibilities for international nuclear safeguards. To harness this potential and ensure compliance with increasing technical requirements, safeguards measures are continuously being enhanced and verification processes are being improved in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, reliability, and informativeness.
In this context, safeguards-related issues concerning long-term interim storage and the final disposal of nuclear materials are key research topics at IFN-2, with the aim of ensuring the long-term integrity of safeguards. In addition, innovative reference materials and analytical methods are being developed to detect undeclared nuclear materials and activities.
At the same time, new technical and methodological approaches are being researched and tested to create non-invasive, continuous, and more efficient monitoring. These complement existing verification methods and contribute to greater reliability and accuracy of monitoring.
