Description
A semi-empirical calibration formula is developed for 235U measurements with an active well coincidence counter (AWCC). Powder samples of U3O8 ranging from 2 to 12 kg and varying in 235U enrichment from 39 to 77% were examined. The calibration formula was tested by analyzing AWCC measurements for known standards which contained 0.0-3.4 kg of 235U. AWCC measurements agreed with the known values to within 2% for samples having more than 0.35 kg of 235U. All measurements agreed to within 0.06 kg of the known values. (orig.)
