This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book strives to take stock of current achievements and existing challenges in nuclear verification, identify the available information and gaps that can act as drivers for exploring new approaches to verification strategies and technologies. With the practical application of the systems concept to nuclear disarmament scenarios and other, non-nuclear verification fields, it investigates, where greater transparency and confidence could be achieved in pursuit of new national or international nonproliferation and arms reduction efforts. A final discussion looks at how, in the absence of formal government-to-government negotiations, experts can take practical steps to advance the technical development of these concepts.

Book excerpt: The REIMEP-22 inter-laboratory comparison (ILC) "U Age Dating - Determination of the production date of a uranium certified test sample" was organised by JRC-IRMM as support to the Nuclear Forensics International Technical Working Group (ITWG) This ILC was organised prior to the release of the candidate certified reference material IRMM-1000, produced in cooperation with JRC-ITU. The aim of REIMEP-22 was to determine the production date of the uranium certified test sample (i.e. the last chemical separation date of the material) using the disequilibrium between the 230Th-234U and 231Pa-235U nuclides as chronometers. The first was compulsory, the latter optional. Participants in REIMEP-22 received either a 20 mg or 50 mg low-enriched uranium sample of known age in solid uranyl nitrate form, depending on the type of analytical technique they used.^Participating laboratories were asked to measure and report either the isotope amount ratio n(230Th)/n(234U) for the 20 mg uranium samples or the activity ratio A(230Th)/A(234U) for the 50 mg uranium samples and to report the calculated production date of the certified test samples. The participants were asked to apply their standard analytical procedures and report the results with the associated uncertainties. REIMEP-22 was announced to participants in June 2013 and fourteen laboratories registered for REIMEP-22 by October 2013. The shipment of the samples to the participants took place between December 2013 and late January 2014. Finally, by May 2014, nine laboratories reported results for the 20 mg uranium sample (using mass spectrometry and reporting amount ratios) and four laboratories for the 50 mg uranium sample (using a-spectrometry and reporting activity ratios).^The reported measurement results have been evaluated against the certified reference value by means of zeta-scores in compliance with international guidelines. In general the REIMEP-22 participants' results were satisfactory. This report presents the REIMEP-22 participants' results; including the evaluation of the questionnaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second revised edition of Multislice CT provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical application of this exciting technique, following the introduction of the newest generation of multi-detector row CT scanners. An initial section considers technical aspects and issues, including those relating to radiation dose and use of contrast material. Thereafter the focus is on the diagnostic applications of multislice CT in each of the most important anatomical regions. Examinations of the abdomen, head and neck, brain, chest, and blood vessels are individually described and illustrated, due attention being paid to the special scanner settings necessary in each case. Practical guidelines to the performance of a successful investigation are provided, and each chapter also reviews the most recently published literature. This comprehensive book will be an invaluable asset to radiologists at all levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of a symposium organized in co-operation with ANS, ESARDA, INMM and the Nuclear Society International (Moscow), Vienna, 14-18 March 1994. Presented at this symposium were: the findings in Iraq by the Action Team established under United Nations Security Council resolutions, South Africa's decision to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), details of the IAEA-Argentina-Brazil-ABACC Quadripartite Safeguards Agreement, and measures following the break-up of the former USSR into newly independent States. Special emphasis was given to the verification of a State's declaration as well as detection of undeclared activities. In addition to covering recent developments, the symposium considered fundamental changes stemming from converging relationships between nuclear arms reductions and the civil use of plutonium, unattended computer based verification systems and other safeguards concepts for the future, and the review and extension of the NPT in 1995.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of multidetector spiral CT into clinical practice is without any doubt one of the most important technical developments in the field of computed tomography in general, and spiral CT in particular, in recent years. Indeed, multislice CT technology, based on the spiral CT technique invented by W. Kalender almost 20 years ago, has opened immense and totally new perspectives for better utilisation of contrast medium during the examination, for optimal multiplanar reconstruction and for increased patient throughput. The potential applications, more specifically in the area of CT angiography of the brain and the heart and vessels, are most interesting and definitely contribute to better patient care as well as to more effi cient utilisation of equipment. These exciting new clinical applications explain the keen desire of radiologists and other clinicians to hear and learn more about the first results obtained with this new equipment in daily clinical practice. This book will satisfy their needs. Professor Maximilian F. Reiser was among the first to install multidetector CT in his department in Munich and to gain experience with this new radiological tool. He was also able to organise a very successful and well attended international meeting on this hot topic as early as z 2000 in Starnberg, Germany.
