International Target Values 2000 for Measurement Uncertainties in Safeguarding Nuclear Materials

The International Target Values 2000 for Measurement Uncertainties in Safeguarding Nuclear Materials, by the International Atomic Energy Agency, is available in its entirety on the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management Web site at http://inmm.org/topics/publications.htm, as a downloadable file. This issue of the Values released in 1979 by the ESARDA/WGDA. International target values are uncertainties to be considered in judging the reliability of analytical techniques applied to industrial nuclear and fissile material, which are subject to safeguards verification. The tabulated values represent estimates of the state-of-the-practice that ought to be achievable under routine measurement conditions. The most recent standard conventions in representing uncertainty and reliability data have been considered, while maintaining a format that allows comparison with the previous releases of the ITVs. publishedInternational Target(ITVs) is the fifth revision. The ITVs were initially
