## 2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 

## 2.1 Introduction 

To discharge of its responsibilities under Chapter VII of the EURATOM Treaty, the European Commission uses measurement systems in nuclear installations across the European Union. 

Passive Gamma Emission Tomography Systems will be used for verification of spent fuel assemblies from Light-Water Reactors. 

The communication language between the Commission and the awarded contractor is English. 

## 2.2 Purpose of the contract 

2.2.1 The Euratom Safeguards Directorate (DG ENER-E) of the European Commission seeks to procure the Contractor’s services for manufacturing, assembling and delivering Passive Gamma Emission Tomography Systems (hereinafter referred to as “PGET”) to be used for verification of spent fuel assemblies from Light-Water Reactors. The PGET shall be capable of operating underwater (at a depth of at least 10m), to be used to examine a Trans axial region of a spent-fuel assembly (minimum 2-year cooling time) and create a tomographic slice of the gamma-ray activity in the region under inspection. In addition, the PGET shall be capable of measuring gross neutron count rate and performing medium resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. 

A prototype PGET has been developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (from now on IAEA) and undergone extensive testing during the first quarter of 2017. The PGET shall be built as per the design documentation listed in Annexes A, B, and C. 

The IAEA owns the full intellectual property right of the hardware and software and has agreed to allow Euratom to use the design documentation for procurement purposes. 

2.2.2 In addition, DG ENER-E seeks to procure services related to updates to the PGET hardware and software and repair of the units. These services are detailed in Section 2.4 below.
