Abstract
It is suggested procedural, not technological, criteria inhibit the broad—based implementation of nondestructive assay techniques within the nuclear community. Difficulty in comparing test results is identified as a primary shortcoming in the nondestructive assay approach. Development of bases for assuring measurement uniformity is proposed as an important prerequisite to solving the comparability problem. The role and relation of contributing variables to measurement uniformity are defined. The standardization of containers for key process applications within the nuclear industry is identified as a primary step toward attaining measurement uniformity. Strong INMM—ANSI involvement in establishing container selection criteria is proposed.
