Calorimetric assay of reactor grade PuO{sub 2} (open access)

Calorimetric assay of reactor grade PuO{sub 2}

This paper describes an experiment to estimate random and systematic errors in determining the effective specific power of plutonium. Precisons and accuracies comparable to coulometric assay were demonstrated for a wide range of plutonium isotopic compositions. Thus, calorimetric assay can provide an effective method for plutonium assay of materials in the nuclear fuel cycle.
