Inventory of safeguards software

Suzuki, Mitsutoshi; Horino, Koichi*

Based on the Japan/US GNEP Action Plan, Safeguards and Physical Protection Working Group (SGPPWG) has surveyed an existing software in individual country. The purpose of this survey will serve as a basis for determining what needs may exist in this arena for development of next-generation safeguards systems and approaches. Exchanging information regarding software tools for safeguards and discussing about a next research and development program of developing a general-purpose safeguards tool should be beneficial to a safeguards system design and indispensable to evaluate a safeguards system for future nuclear fuel facilities.
