- Summary
- In August and September, 2016, scientists from the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) took a series of gamma-ray imaging measurements through the cell windows in front of Cells 3-5 on the east line of the Plutonium Fuel Form (PuFF) Facility using an electrically cooled, high-purity germanium detector. A Germanium Gamma Ray Imager (GeGI) was utilized since it allowed for the location from which the radiation was being emitted to be identified by incoming gamma-ray energy. This measurement technique provided a tool which allowed for the relative concentration of Pu-238 to be mapped throughout each cell. The mapping and new assay data were then used to update the model used in an assay discussed in a 2014 report (SRNL-STI-2014-00629) and to calculate a more accurate value for the holdup in each of the cells [1]. Note that the mapping and new assay data did not replace the previous assay data in the model. Rather, the mapping and new assay data provided additional details on source distribution, which supplemented the previous assay data.
