Equations for plutonium and americium-241 decay corrections

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5585250· OSTI ID:5585250
;

We present derivations of equations used in various plutonium accountability measurements to correct for plutonium decay and /sup 241/Am ingrowth and decay. The equations are formulated in terms of the most widely available variables and are derived without approximation.
