Statistical error model-based and GUM-based analysis of measurement uncertainties in nuclear safeguards – a reconciliation

At the occasion of the Consultants Group Meeting held to review the “International Target Values 2010 for Measurement Uncertainties in Safeguarding Nuclear Material”, discussions between experts highlighted the need to improve communication between different safeguards measurement communities, e.g. laboratory analysts, non-destructive assay specialists, safeguards data evaluators, and to reconcile their approaches to estimating measurement uncertainties. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to reaching a common understanding of the terminology and methodologies used by different professional groups in the field of uncertainty quantification.
