Safeguards Equipment Workshops: The Passive Gamma Emission Tomography System
Organized Visits
The IAEA Passive Gamma Emission Tomography (PGET) system, for the underwater verification of spent nuclear fuel assemblies, was developed and tested with the support of Finland, Hungary, the Russian Federation, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States of America. PGET takes tomographic images to detect missing or substituted fuel pins, and to verify closed containers containing nuclear fuel. In the future, PGET will be used for the routine verification of spent nuclear fuel at Finland’s deep geological repository. During these visits to the Safeguards Equipment Workshops at the Vienna International Centre (VIC), IAEA staff together with their Finnish counterparts will exhibit PGET and present the associated data analysis functions.
Prior registration for all visits is required in advance. To register please send an email stating the visit you wish to attend, your first and family name, affiliation, and delegation.
The assembly point is at the Finnish exhibition booth in the Rotunda of the VIC from where participants will be picked up on Monday, 25 September at 12:00pm and Tuesday, 26 September at 3:30pm.
