The feasibility of TRIGA reactor interrogation of 55-gallon drums for milligrams of fissile material
AbstractAbstract
[en] The Rocky Flats Plant, in processing plutonium-bearing wastes, generates large numbers of 55-gallon drums of low-specific activity (LSA) waste. Verification that plutonium contents are less than LSA levels is most desirable. Present Department of Transportation regulations define 0.1 μ Ci per gram of waste as the maximum allowable plutonium concentration in LSA waste. This concentration in a 55-gallon drum corresponds to 1 to 10 mg of plutonium with the typical isotopic composition processed at Rocky Flats. This work clearly demonstrates that a reactor-produced neutron beam can be used for positive identification of LSA waste
