Detecting Misuse of Aqueous Reprocessing Systems with the Multi-Isotope Process Monitor

摘要

The MIP Monitor provides an autonomous, online process monitoring approach to detect diversion and misuse at nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. The efficacy of the MIP Monitor to detect a hypothetical diversion scenario has been . demonstrated, even for very small diversions. Because we currently lack the ability to simulate diversions in an operating, large-scale system, data to develop and test this approach will continue to rely on numeric simulation The data simulation will be further refined to account for counting statistics and other expected sources of randomness.
