Performance Test and Validation Evaluation for the Neutron Slab Counter
- URS/CH2M Oak Ridge LLC, Oak Ridge, TN (United States); Office of Science and Technical Information
This Performance Testing and Validation Evaluation (PTVE) reviews and analyzes the data collected with the Neutron Slab Counter (NSC) according to the Performance Test and Validation Plan (PTVP, UCOR-4443) and reported in the NSC Performance Test and Validation Report (PTVR, NDA-13-0622). The NSC was designed for quantitative Nondestructive Assay (NDA) measurements of compressor volutes from the K25/K27 Buildings. The NSC PTVP (UCOR-4443) prescribed a methodology and set of field measurements to determine the NSC system efficiency, calibrate the system, perform verification measurements, define the components of the system's total measurement uncertainty, and perform a calibration confirmation measurement. All of the required measurements of the NSC PTVP (UCOR-4443) were completed according to the Calibration of NDA Equipment Procedure (PROC-DE-0714) and the Quantitative Measurements Using the Neutron Slab Counter Procedure (PROC-DE-0723). Following the completion of this PTVE, if the data quality objectives (DQO) of the NSC PTVP (UCOR-4443) are met, a commissioning report will be prepared which specifies the limits of use of the NSC.
