Description

Containers and processing lines bearing high and low enriched uranium are routinely analyzed by nondestructive assay. Measurement systems used at Babcock and Wilcox's nuclear fuels plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania include the segmented gamma scanner (SGS) and the stabilized assay meter (SAM-II). These systems have been calibrated and used for a variety of tasks including uranium holdup measurements prior to decommissioning, in situ filter analysis and assay of calcined waste. 2 refs
