ON THE ABSOLUTE MEASUREMENT OF SOME NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAMPLES

A state with nuclear activities should establish a system capable of controlling all nuclear material (nm) under its authority. continuous improvement of a measuring system is an essential mandate such controlling system. measurements of nm using absolute methods could eliminate the dependency on nm standards, which are necessary for other relative or semi-absolute methods. in this work, an absolute method was used to estimate uranium contents in some nm samples. nm was measured by an absolute method through combination of experimental measurements and mont carlo calculations.
