MEASUREMENT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DURING COLD CHECKOUT RUNS AT THE BNFP

The measurement systems in a complex nuclear fuel plant such as the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant rely on capabilities to remotely measure solution quantities and determine the nuclear material content of these solutions. During recent testing activities using natural uranium, a major objective of the NMC group was to demonstrate these solution measurement capabilities. Installed measurement systems at the BNFP use the most recent innovations in measurement equipment and techniques for remote solution measurement. This paper presents the measurement methods and results of the tests and evaluations.
