Considerable interest has been shown in recent years in developing reliable nuclear materials accounting systems for enriched uranium and plutonium in nuclear fuel reprocessing plants. This paper discusses a method which utilizes the experimental (or computed) solute concentration profiles and dispersed phase holdup values within the contactor. The method was developed using uranium inventory data from Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant (BNFP) pilot-scale pulsed columns.
