Analytical Laboratories Method No. 4016 - the Radiometric Determination of Gamma Activity in Recycled Materials

摘要

This method is used to compare the activity of reactor recycle uranium materials (both by-products and end-products included) to that of an aged natural uranium (ANU) standard. Both fission products and radioactive decay products are included in the measurement. A measurement can normally be accomplished in 2 to 4 hours. The method is applicable to a lower limit of 0.1% of the activity of ANU. No upper limit has been established. (ERA citation 13:043572)
