Title: Low-activity solid waste measurements at Tokai Works

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/752362· OSTI ID:752362

There is significant interest in performing assay measurements of containerized low-activity solid waste. The authors have examined the cases of typical waste drum matrices containing small quantities of plutonium and fission products. They have discussed various measurement techniques and considered the advantages and disadvantages of each method. They present a new state-of-the-art passive neutron waste drum counter with minimum detectable mass limits far below those systems which they have previously fabricated.
