Applied Physics in the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament: Non-Proliferation and Safeguards Activities — •Sophie Grape, Peter Andersson, Erik Branger, Cecilia Gustavsson, Vaibhav Mishra, Débora Montano Trombetta, and Markus Preston — Uppsala University

In 2020, the Swedish government announced the plans to start up a national competence centre on nuclear disarmament in Sweden. The objective was to highlight the importance of nuclear disarmament and to promote research, teaching and policy support on relevant topics. In mid-2021, the Alva Myrdal Centre (AMC) on nuclear disarmament was formally established at Uppsala University. The AMC combines competences from different disciplines such as peace and conflict research, applied nuclear physics, and international law, and organises the work into six different working groups. One of the working groups, led by the Division of Applied Nuclear Physics at Uppsala University, is focusing on technical aspects. In this division, research on nuclear safeguards has been performed for over 30 years, and competence exists on a number of applied physics applications ranging from nuclear reactions, nuclear power and detection of radionuclides. This presentation gives an overview of a number of different technical research projects that have been pursued within the technical working group under AMC.
