Computer-optimized {gamma}-NDA geometries for uranium enrichment verification of gaseous UF{sub 6}

Abstract

An improved collimator pair of novel design tailored for deposit independent enrichment verification of gaseous UF{sub 6} at low pressures in cascade-to-header pipes of small diameters in centrifuge enrichment plants is presented. The designs are adapted for use in a dual-geometry arrangement for simultaneous measurements with both detection geometries. The average measurement time with the dual-geometry arrangement is approximately half an hour for deposit-to-gas activity ratios as high as 20. (orig.)
