Abstract:
This document is intended to promote good practice on the specification, supply, operation and maintenance of equipment used for radiometric non-destructive assay (NDA) of fissile and other radioactive materials.The various techniques, associated applications and their limitations are described. Guidance is given on methods of good practice of NDA systems and the treatment of uncertainties in NDA measurements. Recommendations are made for certification, peformance demonstrations and testing; competence and responsibility; documentation and the control of modification.
