At the end of Phase I in December 2017, the IPNDV identified “testing and exercising potentially promising technologies and procedures” as a key next step. In this framework, Belgium proposed and organized an international exercise at the site of the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK•CEN) in Mol, Belgium. Hosted on September 9, 2019, the aim of the exercise was to test and compare measurement techniques to be potentially used for the verification of nuclear material in the framework of the dismantlement of nuclear weapons. Thirty scientists from 10 IPNDV countries took part in this 10-day measurement campaign.
