Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of a topical meeting held in 1978 on analytical methods for nuclear materials. The focus was on safeguarding and accounting for special nuclear materials, primarily uranium, plutonium, and thorium, in the context of the nuclear fuel cycle. The author, H. Thomas Yolken, discusses the need for precise and accurate analysis of these materials to ensure their proper use and prevent diversion for non-peaceful purposes. The book covers a range of analytical techniques, including x-ray spectrometry, neutron interrogation, gamma-ray spectroscopy, and wet chemistry methods, as well as remote handling systems for highly radioactive samples. It also includes discussions on quality assurance programs and the challenges of obtaining accurate and reliable data in a timely manner. The book provides a valuable historical record of the state of the art in nuclear materials analysis in the late 1970s and highlights the ongoing efforts to improve measurement capabilities and ensure the safety and security of nuclear materials. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
