A safeguards approach for the final disposal of spent fuel is being developed. Because spent fuel becomes, not only difficult but rather impossible to access, partial defect verification will be required. At the moment, no practical methods are available that can be used for real partial defect verification of light water reactor (LWR) fuel or that can reveal the presence of individual rods. Gamma emission tomography has been shown to be a feasible method for rod level verification of spent LWR fuel. The method is being developed further under the Safeguards Support Programmes of Hungary and Finland for the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards. The goal is to make a prototype tomographic verifier for inspections.
