This paper will review a non-destructive assay (NDA) system that represents a fundamental element in the JRC’s strategy to characterise radioactive wastes originating from four decades of nuclear research activities conducted at the Ispra Site. The technical solution selected by JRC-Ispra will be reviewed in detail in the light of special requirements imposed by the qualities of the waste packages, the operational objectives of JRC-Ispra, and the applicable Italian regulations. The intended plant is a state-of-the-art characterisation system that will operate in an industrial environment and therefore be of significant interest to the radioactive waste management community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
