Waste Characterization

[Bates.Estabrooks@rfets.gov (Bates Estabrooks)]

          Here's a question for everyone on RADSAFE particularly those 
          at DOE sites.  This is posted for a colleague of mine.
          
          The WIPP TRUPACT-II Packaging Requirements for 55-gal drums 
          give a decay-heat based limit of 8.8g of WGPu per drum 
          (assumes no 241 Am).  Is anyone out there aware of a 
          technology that can characterize a drum down to that level?  
          Is anyone out there using something that can?
          
          Thanks.
          
          Regards;
