Description

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a national defense facility involved in the recovery and processing of plutonium. Wastes and residues are routinely generated here from many stages of plutonium metal fabrication and from pyrochemical and aqueous processing of plutonium scrap. Materials which require measurement include plutonium oxide from burned residues, Pu-bearing salts from production/reduction and metal purification processes, impure plutonium metal, metal reduction slags, ash, undissolved oxide heels, ceramics, and auxiliary implements such as HEPA filters, plastics, and cleaning rags. Nondestructive assays (NDA) of transuranic (TRU) waste from these materials are often troublesome and may pose formidable challenges to ... continued below

Nondestructive assays (NDA) of transuranic (TRU) waste from these materials are often troublesome and may pose formidable challenges to the measurement specialist. This document discusses these waste measurement issues at LANL. 25 figs., 2 tabs.
