Nuclear fuel is occasionally warranted to produce a stipulated average Mwd/ton for discharged fuel. Mwd/ton is defined as the megawatt days of heat produced per 2000 pounds of total fissionable and fertile isotopes initially present. In the history of nuclear power reactors, Mwd/ton has been a difficult number to measure accurately. Measurements performed in different laboratories are not always in agreement. A fuel burnup group is preparing tentative procedures which will help standardize the field of burnup analysis. The purpose of this report is to evaluate some of the existing methods for burnup analysis and to select, if possible, the one best suited for warranty purposes.

The 1990s saw significant developments in the global non-proliferation landscape, resulting in a new period of safeguards development. The current publication, which is the second revision and update of IAEA/NVS/1, is intended to give a full and balanced description of the safeguards techniques and equipment used for nuclear material accountancy, containment and surveillance measures, environmental sampling, and data security. New features include a section on new and novel technologies. As new verification measures continue to be developed, the material in this book will be reviewed periodically and updated versions issued.
