- ANTECH Alliance ANTECH Waste measurement - TGS Advantages • One instrument provides total Assay result combining TGS measurement of U, Pu and other radio-nuclides with Pu isotopic ratio analysis using LANL PC/FRAM code. • Provides tomographic maps of absorbers and sources in heterogeneous matrices. • Determines the inventory of U, Pu, and other radio-nuclides in non homogeneous samples including pyrochemical salt residues. • Extends the range of the SGS technique to heterogeneous sample, such as pyrochemical salt residues containing lumps of Plutonium. • A single calibration constant can be employed for each radio-nuclide determined due to the bias reduction inherent in the TGS technique. • Measures samples with Am-241 content which cannot be measured by neutron techniques. • Accuracy and precision sufficient to meet safeguards, shipping and disposal requirements. • Suitable for measuring Pu oxide in cans. • TGS technique indicates when a measurement is not successful, avoiding large errors. www.antech-inc.com
- ANTECH Alliance ANTECH Waste measurement – TGS Features • Gamma-ray based NDA technique for the assay of U, Pu and radio-nuclides in waste, based on licensed LANL TGS technology. • Incorporates Tomographic Gamma Scanner (TGS), Segmented Gamma Scanner (SGS) and Plutonium Isotopic Ratio Measurement capability in one instrument. • Automatic gamma-ray energy calibration using the Se-75 transmission source. • Transmission corrections are achieved using a Se-75 transmission source to develop a 3-D spatial map of the attenuation coefficient of the sample. • Manual or automatic drum loading. • Measurement time of typically less than one hour. Increased accuracy and precision can be achieved by extending measurement time. • Mobile operator control console which is compatible with both Drum TGS and UGS for Cans,which can be local or remote from the instrument. • Accuracy is typically better than 10% for measurement of cans and 20% for matrices with average density 2g/cm3. It is better than 10% for metal scrap matrices. www.antech-inc.com
