PLUTONIUM FINISHING PLANT (PFP) GENERALIZED GEOMETRY HOLDUP CALCULATIONS & TOTAL MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1025334· OSTI ID:1025334

A collimated portable gamma-ray detector will be used to quantify the plutonium content of items that can be approximated as a point, line, or area geometry with respect to the detector. These items can include ducts, piping, glove boxes, isolated equipment inside of gloveboxes, and HEPA filters. The Generalized Geometry Holdup (GGH) model is used for the reduction of counting data. This document specifies the calculations to reduce counting data into contained plutonium and the associated total measurement uncertainty.
