Printed in Italy FOREWORD
The 13th ESARDA Symposium, held in the magnificent setting of the
Palace of the Popes in Avignon, France is characterized by two main
features.
One is the very high number of papers in total and more specifically in
the field of measurements. This means that there is great interest in this
field again, both in Nondestructive Assay and in Destructive Analysis.
The total number of papers accepted in the Symposium was: 60 included
in oral sessions and 66 presented as posters.
The second important fact is the considerable participation of Eastern
European Countries. There were several papers and 6 participants from
the USSR, with appreciated contributions. We also had papers and parti­
cipants from Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, countries which are
candidates to join an important European initiative i.e. COST (Scientific
and Technical Co-operation) which has the aim of promoting research in
Europe on a transnational basis.
I wish to thank all the authors who, in the era of word processors, were
obliged to use scissors and glue to arrange their papers in a two column
format. Nevertheless several authors will discover that their papers are a
little modified in their making-up.
Finally I am very pleased to note that some authors presented results
obtained the week before the conference. The ESARDA Symposium is
in this respect very alive and the proceedings, which will appear promp­
tly, are therefore well updated. The presentation of the manuscripts only
at the conference time meant that photocopies could not be made befo­
rehand, which would have been useful, especially for the interpreters,
but I am convinced that the game is worth the candle.

ESARDA is an association of European organizations formed to advance and harmonize
research and development of safeguards. It also provides a forum for the exchange
of information and ideas between nuclear facility operators and safeguarding authorities.
