Abstract
The applicability of modern signal processing techniques to the safeguards proolem for a plutonium nitrate storage tank is addressed. The tecnniques involve mathematical modeling, optimal estimation of process variables and the detection of abnormal changes in these variables due to adversary diversion. An example is given which shows overall performance in terms of probabilities of detection versus false alarm probabilities for levels of diversion of ISO, 25U, and 500 gms.
