Joint analysis
1. Czech Republic (2003)• Highly enriched uranium
2. Lithuania (2003)• low enriched uranium pellets
3. Poland (2005)• low enriched uranium pellets and depleted
uranium powder
Scope: To give assistance to countrieswith insufficient analytical capabilities.

Research & Development
• Age determination (nat.U - HEU and Pu)
• Reactor type determination (Pu)
• Oxygen 18/16 ratio for geolocation (nat.U-oxides)
• Surface roughness (U pellets)
• Impurity patterns for geolocation and production process determination (different U products)
• Fingerprinting contaminated containers
