Application of plastic track detectors for determination of fissile materials in liquid radioactive waste of NPP

Article preview

Methods for determining the amount of fissile materials in containers with liquid radioactive waste have been developed. The concentration of the sum of fissile materials (uranium-235 and plutonium-239) was determined by the method of plastic track detectors. This method is adapted to highly saline waters and bottom sediments. The contribution of plutonium-239 to the sum of fissile materials was determined by the radiochemical method. The methods were used to solve nuclear safety problems during decommissioning of NPPs.
