Framework Supply Contract related to the Acquisition of Portable UF6 Cylinder Verification Systems
Reference Number : ENER/E1/2020-415-01
The framework contract aims at the acquisition of electrically cooled portable UF6 cylinder verification systems for use during routine inspection operations with focus on ergonomic design.
The Nuclear Safeguards Directorate of the European Commission, acting on the basis of article 77 of the Treaty Establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM Treaty), implements Nuclear Safeguards in the member states of the European Union. This includes the physical verification of the nuclear material from its production to the end of its life cycle.
Uranium, after mining and ore processing, undergoes enrichment in the chemical form of its hexafluoride, a chemically highly reactive substance which is stored in closed cylinders for transport purposes and interim storage. In order to be able to verify the content of a cylinder filled with uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and to determine the enrichment of nuclear material inside without opening the cylinder, non-destructive measurement techniques have to be applied. For this purpose, Euratom inspectors require portable spectrometers capable of high-precision measurements. The framework contract aims at the acquisition of electrically cooled portable UF6 cylinder verification systems for use during routine inspection operations with focus on ergonomic design.
In order to cover the metrological needs arising from the inspection activities mentioned above, up to 10 UF6 cylinder verification systems will be purchased in the framework of this contract. The UF6 cylinder verification system will be used to acquire gamma spectra onsite and to provide an estimation of the measured uranium enrichment. For this purpose it is essential, that the device can be easily carried (having a limited weight) and remains operational for the whole period of the inspection.
