FEMOS is a specially developed monitor to detect fissile materials for waste characterisation and it is also suitable to identify the main neutron emitters. The latest measuring prototype is in routine operation at FZK-HDB (Germany) for determining Plutonium content and alpha activity in 2001 and 4001 drums from the reprocessing plant Karlsruhe (WAK). Authorities license the measurement procedure. Routine measurements conducted over a period of about 6 years and the results show that all specified prerequisites are met with the required reliability. (authors)
