Description

A gamma-spectrometric method for determining the total nuclear material content of homogeneous nuclear-material pellets or powder of unknown origin with a total uncertainty of less than 2% is presented. From these results the matrix of the samples is identified for certain uranium compounds (U3O8, UO2, uranium-nitrate and uranil-acetate)
