DOE Oversight of Facility Confirmatory Measurement Activity

A description of DOE policies and procedures relative to confirmatory measurement as applied to a major field office is presented. In recent years, confirmatory measurements aided by nondestructive assay equipment have increased. Opportunities for more extensive use of this type of measurement exist and should be pursued if more timely identification of significant shipperreceiver differences is to be accomplished. These opportunities cannot be fully met however without advancements in the technology of non-destructive assay equipment and facility commitment to this type of measurement.
