ESARDA is an association of European organisations formed to advance and harmonise research and development in the area of safeguards. It also provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas between nuclear facility operators, safeguards authorities and persons engaged in research and development. ESARDA was formed in 1969 with the purpose of facilitating collaboration in R&D in the field of safeguards and in the application of such R&D to the safeguarding of source and special fissile materials. This co-operation is effected through co-ordination and harmonisation of the R&D work of the partners, by the exchange of information and assistance on a personnel and technical level, and by the joint execution of these programmes or parts thereof. The key element of ESARDA's activities is the frequent interaction between R&D personnel, plant operators and safeguards authorities. Ideally these interactions will reduce the burden of safeguards on the participants.
