In-field calibration of neutron correlation counters via calorimetry and high count rate gamma-ray isotopics measurements

Creators

Description

The use of transportable calorimetric assay equipment to perform an in-field calibration of a neutron correlation counter is presented. During the past three years, this combination of instrumentation has been used to measure the plutonium content of a variety of oxide, salt, and metal samples. An increase in sample throughput has been achieved by using this combination of measurements
