Incorporation of New, Automated Environmental Sampling Systems into Safeguards Approaches
Year: 2013

The three technologies—tamper resistant/indicating aerosol contaminant extractor (TRI‐ACE), laser ablation laser absorbance ratio spectrometry‐environmental sampling (LAARS‐ES), and LAARS‐destructive assay (DA)—have the potential to revolutionize aspects of sampling at gas centrifuge enrichment plants (GCEPs). The environmental sampling capabilities of TRI‐ACE and LAARS‐ES have the ability to provide unattended and remote monitoring equipment at a GCEP that constantly samples the environment for
