IAEA Technology Challenge for Digital image processing for the Improved Cerenkov Viewing Device (ICVD)

The Division of Technical and Scientific Services (SGTS) is responsible for providing scientific, technical and logistics support to the Operations Divisions of IAEA-SG, including: design, development, testing, calibration, installation and maintenance of safeguards equipment.

Within SGTS, essential objectives of the Technology Foresight activities are to identify and evaluate emerging technologies that improve the usability, effectiveness and efficiency of the instruments used in the field by inspectors, and to enhance the IAEA's capabilities to detect undeclared activities.

This challenge aims at improving the capabilities of an instrument routinely used by IAEA-inspectors to verify declarations related to spent fuel assemblies stored in cooling pools.
