The Advanced Experimental Fuel Counter (AEFC) is a non-destructive assay (NDA) instrument developed to quantify the residual fissile mass in research reactor spent fuel assemblies. The system is installed in a spent fuel pool and measurements are acquired underwater. A calibration curve relates the totals and coincidence counting signal from active interrogation of the spent fuel assemblies to the fissile mass remaining in the fuel.
