NUKEM monitor FAMOS is designed to measure the burn up of fuel assemblies (FA's) and allows the calculation of the content of fissile material and other actinides. The knowledge of the isotopic composition and activities of FA's is required for a safe handling and storage of the elements. The monitor analyses the measurement results on the basis of burn up calculations which improve the quality of the results, with respect to previous systems, which did not use those. (authors)
