In-Field Calibration of Neutron Correlation Counters Via Calorimetry and High Count Rate gamma-Ray Isotopics Measurements

摘要

The use of transportable calorimetric assay equipment to perform an in-field calibration of a neutron correlation counter is presented. During the past three years, this combination of instrumentation has been used to measure the plutonium content of a variety of oxide, salt, and metal samples. An increase in sample throughput has been achieved by using this combination of measurements. (ERA citation 12:009019)
