Abstract
This paper reports on the cross-calibration of an Active Well Coincidence Counter for use in the Materials Protection, Control, and Accountability Graduate Program at the Moscow State Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI). The cross-calibration procedure and its application to nuclear material types available at MEPhI for instructional purposes is described. Cross-calibration results at Los Alamos and initial applications at MEPhI are summarized. Based on the results so far, we conclude that the cross-calibration approach seems useful, with good prospects for potential applications at other Russian and US Dept. of Energy facilities.
