摘要

High-sensitivity nuclear environmental sampling and analysis techniques have been proven in their ability to verify declared nuclear activities, as well as to assist in the detection of undeclared nuclear activities and facilities. Following the Gulf War, the capability and revealing power of environmental sampling and analysis techniques to support international safeguards was demonstrated and subsequently adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency as routine measures in safeguards inspections and verifications. In addition to having been proven useful in international safeguards, environmental sampling and analysis techniques have demonstrated their utility in identifying the origins of 'orphaned' nuclear material, as well as the origin of intercepted smuggled nuclear material. Today, environmental sampling and analysis techniques are being applied in six broad areas to support non-proliferation, disarmament treaty verification, national and international nuclear security, and environmental stewardship of weapons production activities. Consequently, an increasing number of laboratories around the world are establishing or expanding capabilities to meet these growing applications, and, as such, requirements for quality assurance and control are increasing. The six areas are: nuclear safeguards; nuclear forensics/illicit trafficking; ongoing monitoring and verification; Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; weapons dismantlement/materials disposition; and research and development/environmental stewardship/safety. Application of environmental sampling and analysis techniques and resources to illicit nuclear material trafficking, while embodying the same basic techniques and resources, has unique requirements for sample management, handling, protocols, chain-of-custody, archiving and data interpretation. These requirements are derived from needs of how data from nuclear forensics analyses are to be used in legal proceedings, and also in investigative research. From the legal perspective, one must assume that any results obtained would be used as evidence in a court of law for prosecution of criminal acts. Consequently, quality-assurance requirements are very demanding and unforgiving. For example, forensics analysis results that cannot be independently verified against certified reference materials of known composition and isotopics may not be accepted in a court of law as reliable evidence. Thus, the ability to provide certified and traceable reference materials used in the analyses is extremely important in nuclear forensics. In addition to nuclear signatures, other signatures such as any organics or plant and animal residue that are also on the intercepted materials become important in identifying origin, and will require traceable, known standards. In this paper we describe the quality-assurance requirements and considerations that must be adopted and developed for application and use in nuclear forensics. Recommendations and minimum requirements for standardization of a nuclear forensics quality-assurance programme that could be internationally accepted will also be presented.
