OSTI ID:4340063

A broad range of subjects of accounting and auditing, measurements and statistics in the control of SS materials was covered at this meeting. Topics discussed included: procedures for estimating random and systematic uncertainties of measurements; simplification of inprocess accountability in uranium fuel element fabrication; methods of studying book-physical inventory differences; diversified application or basic accounting data; audit of SS material accounting records for a separation process; testing of high reliability in the nucleonic assay of MTR-ETR fuels; an optimum sampling technique; material control and handling in the fabrication of enriched UCl-- Al shim plates; analysis of measurement precisions; the chemist and tester performance evaluation program at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant; quality control applied to sampling and analysis in chemical separations plants; inventory verification by isotopic dilution technique; a comparison of mass spectrometric and radiochemical methods for the determination of U/sup 235/ burnup; a calculation of gaseous diffusion cascade dynamic inventory on the IBM 650; the determination of U/sup 235/in industrial waste solutions; and the measurement of uranium content in reactor fuel elements.
