Project Overview
This activity funds the design and fabrication
of standard waste box (SWB) and crate surrogates. These surrogates
are needed to evaluate, calibrate,
and refine neutron and gamma ray based crate/box assay systems. These
systems will be used
to characterize both TRU and low-level wastes. In FY-99, two surrogates
were fabricated
to support the development of two assay systems for Rocky Flats; a B-25
wet combustible
surrogate and a B-25 dry combustible surrogate. In FY-00, 4 surrogates
were designed
and fabricated: 2 SWB surrogate configuration boxes with 4 surrogate
matrix inserts,
2 combustibles, and 2 metals. In FY-01, the design and fabrication of
2 surrogates to
support the evaluation of box assay systems in the PDP, TRU and LLW
waste programs is planned;
1 SWB type high density matrix (soil, concrete rubble, blacktop
type) 1 B-25 type
high density surrogate to support Rocky Flats and Hanford needs.
