A Global Perspective on Nuclear Material Holdup Measurements

摘要

This paper presents an overview of uses of nuclear material holdup measurements and describes why they are important for nuclear material control and accounting. As technology advances, subject matter experts retire, and nuclear power enjoys a resurgence, the sharing of holdup measurement best practices contributes to optimal allocation of resources and reduces proliferation risk. The sharing of best practices is an ideal platform from which to reinvigorate the technology base using an up-to-date R&D program.
