Measurement Technology At Selected DOE Facilities: A Status Report

There are to be target values established for Department of Energy (DOE) facilities which perform accountability measurements for nuclear materials. As part of the decision process for making a reasonable selection of those target values, information aboutthe status of measurement technology at sites doing accountability measurements on Category I, II and III materials was collected and tabulated. Information about the technology used at seven sites is provided in four tables. Information about some proposed target values is provided in three tables. A comparison of the most accurate accountability assay methods used at the sites and the proposed target values is made in a final table. Additional observations about the individual site information are provided, and selected method literature references are given.
