Standard Test Method for Nondestructive Assay of Plutonium by Passive Neutron Multiplicity Counting
This test method is useful for determining the plutonium content of items such as impure Pu oxide, mixed Pu/U oxide, oxidized Pu metal, Pu scrap and waste, Pu process residues, and weapons components. Measurements made with this test method may be suitable for safeguards or waste characterization requirements such as: Nuclear materials accountability, Inventory verification (7), Confirmation of nuclear materials content (8), Resolution of shipper/receiver differences (9), Excess weapons materials inspections (10, 11), Safeguards termination on waste (12, 13), Determination of fissile equivalent content (14).
