What Does ESS Stand For?
ESS stands for Environmental Sampling For Safeguards
Environmental Sampling for Safeguards (ESS) is a systematic approach used to collect and analyze environmental samples to monitor compliance with nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation agreements. ESS ensures rigorous verification of state behavior by detecting illicit activities, assessing environmental contamination, and providing transparent evidence to support international security objectives. This methodology enhances the ability to identify undeclared nuclear materials and activities, contributing to global efforts in maintaining peace and stability.
