Some considerations concerning the accuracy of power level calculations in the context of the control of SS materials

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

This report investigates a study of the accuracy of the power level calculations. Some characteristics of this calculation can be adduced but the accuracy in the sense of freedom from bias leads to an impasse. It presumes that there is another measurement for comparison purposes for which there are engineering reasons to believe, the inherent error is smaller. For the power level values as calculated by the Foxboro Power Level Calculator no such measurement or calculation exits. However, the calculations can be studied to determine whether it is worth-while to make further refinements relative to the various functions of the … continued below

The accuracy requirements vary according to use where the most stringent requirements are in the control of SS Materials.
