Nuclear instrumentation and measurement methods in nuclear environments are key aspects that contribute to the quality of scientific programmes in the fields of physics, energy, the fuel cycle and waste management. Furthermore, measurements relying on nuclear physics now play an important role in various fields of application such as biology, medicine and the environment. The ANIMMA conference aims at uniting, consolidating and organizing an international network of scientific researchers and experts from industry, research institutes, academic dealing with nuclear instrumentation and applications).ANIMMA 2017 is the fifth of a series of conferences devoted to endorsing and promoting scientific and technical activities based on nuclear instrumentation and measurements. The main objective of ANIMMA conference is to unite the various scientific communities not only involved in nuclear instrumentation and measurements, but also in methodology activities (R&D, Innovation and.
