      4. Description of the procurement:
         

         The Euratom Safeguards Directorate (DG ENER-E) of the European Commission has a need for measurement systems to be used in nuclear installations across all Member States for physical verification of spent fuel elements, stored underwater.

         There is a growing need for measurement after EU enlargement and as more fuel is transported to either reprocessing plants or to interim storage. These measurements are performed underwater, in spent fuel ponds, to confirm the declared fuel compositions.

         In order to cover the need for inspection activities, new FORK detectors must be purchased. The FORK detectors are used to measure neutron and gross gamma-ray emission from irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies, stored under water.

         The FORK detectors shall be adapted to verify different types of spent fuel elements, mainly for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) type of fuel assemblies, but also for Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and VVER-1000 type of assemblies.

         Nr. Description Maximum quantity.

         1) Fork detectors used for PWR size fuel elements 3;

         2) Fork detectors used for BWR size fuel elements 4;

         3) Fork detectors used for VVER-1000 size fuel elements 2.
