AGA 7: An Overview of Physics and Disarmament Research in Germany – Social Event & Poster Session
AGA 7.8: Poster
Thursday, March 19, 2026, 17:30–18:30, KH 00.016
Research on Nuclear Safeguards and Disarmament at Forschungszentrum Jülich — •Manuel Kreutle1, 2, Thomas Boland1, 2, Lisa Laumen1, Kim Westerich-Fellner1, Neslihan Yanikömer1, Phillip Kegler1, Katharina Aymanns1, and Stefan Neumeier1 — 1Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany — 2RWTH Aachen University, Germany
With this poster we want to provide insight to physicists with interest in society and policy on working in interdisciplinary research in the nuclear area. We will give an overview of the physics-related work on nuclear safeguards and disarmament currently conducted in the 'Nuclear Safeguards and Security' division at the Institute for Fusion Energy and Nuclear Waste Management (IFN-2) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. We will present safeguards research projects on muon-based measurements to confirm the presence of nuclear material in storage casks or the absence of undeclared tunnels in a deep geological repository for nuclear waste, the development of digital twins for monitoring nuclear waste management facilities under safeguards, or the creation of a virtual reality (VR) training platform for education and training in nuclear safety and safeguards. We will further discuss work on nuclear disarmament, including practical tabletop and roleplay exercises.
