MONITORING OF MATERIAL OF LOW U-235 ASSAY THROUGH GAMMA RADIATION ENERGY SEPARATION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4302253
The isotopes of uranium and their daughter products emit gamma radiation which ts characteristic of each of the radioacttve isotopes in the absence of the others. this radiation cam be detected with a gamma counter, and is separated into a spectrum according to the different energies. The count rate indicated by the detector can be correlated to the uranim-235 assay of a uranium sample when the equipment is calibrated to count the characteristic radiations of this isotope. This procedure cam be used to monitor liquid uranium hexafluoride samples of low assay. In the range from 0.2% to 1% assay, the count rate-vs. - assay curve is linear. (auth)
