The purpose of this study was to develop a new portable detector system for the measurement of uranium enrichment of Uranium oxide and Uranium hexafluoride samples in containers. In this paper the authors describe such an apparatus that consisted of high purity germanium detector, a collimator, Canberra InSpector{trademark} and a laptop computer. In addition, the portable enrichment measurement system used Canberra Genie-PC{trademark} software for data acquisition and specialized software written for this application for the data analysis. In this paper they briefly discuss the unique features of this system. They also give the results of measurements made on both Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) and Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) samples at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
