Re: Material Activation Information

[William V Lipton <liptonw@dteenergy.com>]

A good start is NUREG/CR-3474, "Long-Lived Activation Products in Reactor Materials."  Two companies that I'm aware of who perform this kind of analysis (no endorsement implied) are General Atomics and WMG, Inc.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.

Our group is in the process of establishing the radioactive characterization program for irradiated materials so that the correct information is obtained at the front end of the specimen irradiation process to assist in radionuclide composition and activity determinations at the time of waste declaration.
