Safeguards

Identify and quantify special nuclear materials at declared and undeclared facilities using HPGe isotope ID and quantitative assay without destructive sampling.

Pu Spectrum

Nuclear safeguards inspections require definitive isotopic identification of nuclear materials under field conditions. HPGe gamma-ray spectroscopy provides the energy resolution necessary to separate closely spaced emissions from special nuclear materials, enabling confident identification that lower-resolution detectors cannot achieve.

The ISOTAC quantitative assay module computes calibrated isotope activities from field spectroscopy data, providing in-situ NDA results without access to a counting laboratory. ANSI N42.42 reachback file formats allow data sharing with inspection teams and analysis centers.

The GeGI gamma-ray imager extends safeguards capability to spatial source distribution mapping, allowing inspectors to identify the location and spatial extent of nuclear material using Compton and pinhole imaging from a single field position without moving the detector.
