COMPUCEA: A High-performance Analysis Procedure for Timely On-Site Uranium Accountancy Verification in LEU Fuel Fabrication Plants
COMPUCEA is a transportable system for accurate on-site analytical measurements of uranium elemental
assay and enrichment during the physical inventory verification (PIV) in European Low-Enriched Uranium
(LEU) fuel fabrication plants. The paper describes the main procedural steps, instrument calibration and
performance of the COMPUCEA system, which presently consist of a compact L-edge densitometer and Ge
well detectors for 235U enrichment measurements. The performance of room-temperature scintillation
detectors, NaI and LaBr3(Ce) has recently been evaluated.
