Abstract
The Euratom Safeguards Directorate has over the past five years evaluated, field-tested, purchased, calibrated and implemented in routine inspection use a large number of modern and relatively sophisticated instruments. Many of these instruments are orientated to nondestructive assay (NDA), monitoring and logging systems (MLS) and containment/surveillance (C/S) systems. The paper w i l I focus on those aspects which need to be taken into consideration when equipment is permanently installed in nuclear installations. Various concepts w i l l be discussed and practical solutions w i l l be presented. These examples w i l I include automatic nuclear material flow measurement stations, logging devices, C/S systems in storage areas, data collection and transmission systems. The paper w i l l also present concepts and practical solutions concerning the validation of operators' equipment including software.
