Nuclear Materials Control in Irradiated Fuel Reprocessing

摘要

This report presents the basic principles and techniques which have been found necessary for the establishment and maintenance of an adequate control system for the nuclear materials used in irradiated reactor fuel reprocessing in the United States. In general, the application of these principles and techniques would be required wherever it was necessary for a central agency such as a State to be able to satisfy either itself or another agency or State regarding the safety, national security, or economy of its atomic installations. The fundamental basis of any system designed to assure efficient control of nuclear materials is the ability to measure accurately the receipt, issue, use, and inventory of all such materials.
