CAN THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEMATIC ERRORS ON LE-MUF BE REDUCED?

When LE-MUF is large, it is difficult to make prudent judgements about the effectiveness of SNM control measures on the basis of an observed MUF. LE-MUF cannot be reduced beyond a certain level because its size is limited by systematic errors. It is suggested that in some instances, judgements made based on MUF be supplemented by those made based on a conditional MUF. The conditional MUF compares the MUF for the current material balance period with MUF experience for prior periods.
