AI Article Synopsis
- The melting of metallic waste helps shrink its volume, improve radiological assessment, and lessen on-site handling.
- A new non-destructive assay method has been proposed to accurately characterize low- and intermediate-level waste before the melting process.
- The paper introduces a predictive approach to estimate major gamma emitters' activity values using average dose rate measurements.
Article Abstract
Melting of metallic waste reduces the waste volume, allows more accurate radiological characterization, and minimizes handling at the waste production site. This paper proposes a new non-destructive assay methodology to radiologically characterize low- and intermediate-level (LILW) waste before melting. A non-destructive assay technique is developed and qualified using geometry optimization technique and sample analysis after melting. Additionally, we present an operational methodology to predict the activity values of the major gamma emitters based on the average dose rate measurements.
