Diversion path analysis

 Diversion path analysis is the analysis of all possible diversion paths or diversion strategies for nuclear material at a facility. A diversion path analysis may be part of the development of a model safeguards approach for a common facility type, and may also be carried out for a specific facility. The purpose of a diversion path analysis is to determine whether a proposed set of safeguards measures would provide sufficient detection capability with respect to a specific diversion path or diversion strategy.
