The IAEA Universal Nondestructive Assay Data Acquisition Platform (UNAP)

The Universal NDA Data Acquisition Platform (UNAP) will be the next generation data acquisition system for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) attended and unattended non-destructive assay measurement equipment. The system will also be the principal data acquisition module for the Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited (JNFL) MOX Fuel Fabrication Plant (J-MOX) safeguards project. The primary goal of the UNAP development is for the new module to become the IAEA standard and replace existing Non-Destructive Assay (NDA) modules such as the JSR-12, the MiniGrand, the Advanced Multiplicity Shift Register (AMSR), and the JSR-14. The inputs to the UNAP will be a superset of the existing inputs of all these previous modules with flexibility to anticipate future developments.
