This Performance Testing and Validation Plan (PTVP) presents the technical basis for the use of the neutron slab counter (NSC) for quantitative nondestructive assay (NDA) measurements of compressor volutes from the K-25/K-27 Buildings. This PTVP prescribes a set of measurements required to calibrate and demonstrate sufficiency of the NSC for its intended purpose of quantitative NDA measurements of compressor volutes. The measurements taken according to this plan will be documented in a Performance Test and Validation Report (PTVR). Analysis of the collected data will be performed and documented in a Performance Test and Validation Evaluation. If the performance objectives are met, a commissioning report will be prepared establishing the uses and limitations of the NSC for its intended purpose.
