Comparative experimental study of two techniques for analyzing plutonium abundances
Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have researched and developed the non-destructive accounting technology for many years. They used HPGe detectors with very good energy resolution to detect the y rays emitted from plutonium and analyze its isotopic abundances. The results can satisfy the requirements of SNM Accountability. A comparative experimental study was carried out to test the two techniques and to comment on their specifications.
