Detectability limits and precision for shufflers
The mathematical formulae for the detectability limit and precision of nondestructive assay (NDA) instruments have been developed. Definitions are given and references to previous discussions on the subject are cited. The examples are limited to /sup 252/Cf Shufflers; however, the formalism applies to all NDA instruments. The detectability limit for the Liquid-Sample Shuffler test bed is quoted at 4.2 mg/l of /sup 235/U when all the statistical precision effects are included for an 8-..mu..g /sup 252/Cf source and a measurement time of 5 min is used. 19 references.
