Good Practice Guide for Validation of a Waste Characterisation System for Very Low, Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste
16ENV09 Metrodecom II, Deliverable D4,
The present report describes the lessons learned from the taking into operation of the two main measurement stations of the Waste Characterisation System (WCS). This includes the SGS/TGS gamma station and the passive/active neutron station.
The report describes details of the detection systems, the multiple detailed investigations undertaken to determine their assay characteristics, and finally the observed performance values determined by assay methods applying known radioactive and nuclear material standards. The work carried out at the two measurement stations was organised according to a formal validation procedure, outlined in the report, for the applied assay methods. The multitude of investigations needed to comply with the formal validation procedure, could not be completed in the limited time of the present project. The investigations undertaken, however, are a useful insight into technical issues and methodologies to be addressed in any validation process of assay methods of radioactive and nuclear materials. The achieved assay results provide useful target values for others about to embark on validation of methods for radioactive waste characterisation.
