Abstract
In 1992 the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) undertook an initiative to build a \"high sensitivity analytical facility\" at the Agency's Seibersdorf Analytical Laboratory (SAL). The primary objective for this facility is to provide the IAEA with an independent capability for screening of environmental samples and for measuring the isotopic composition of traces of uranium and plutonium in environmental samples. The design of this facility, which consists principally of a Class 100 Clean Room under construction at Seibersdorf Analytical Laboratory, is described along with the plans and capabilities for its use in support of enhanced safeguards measures under consideration as part of the IAEA's 93 + 2 Programme.
