Advanced enrichment monitoring technology based on transmission measurements with an X-ray source and NaI(Tl) spectrometer

In this paper we report our progress toward the development of an advanced enrichment monitoring technology for safeguarding gas centrifuge enrichment plants. We compare the UF 6 gas pipe attenuation and sensitivity to X-ray tube HV variations for two transmission energies: 22 keV and 25.5 keV. The...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper we report our progress toward the development of an advanced enrichment monitoring technology for safeguarding gas centrifuge enrichment plants. We compare the UF 6 gas pipe attenuation and sensitivity to X-ray tube HV variations for two transmission energies: 22 keV and 25.5 keV. The first experimental enrichment results taken with a static UF 6 gaseous source and X-ray tube based transmission source over a wide gas pressure range are presented.
