A consortium of laboratories is collaborating with the Savannah River Plant to develop an integrated system of state-of-the-art nondestructive assay (NDA) instrumentation to provide nuclear materials accounting and process control information for a new plutonium scrap recovery facility. Individual microcomputer-based instruments report assay results to an Instrument Control Computer (ICC). The ICC, in turn, is part of a larger computer network that includes computers that perform process control and nuclear materials accounting functions. Integrated system design considerations, integral testing, and individual instrument measurement functions are discussed. 3 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
