Applications of HPGe-detected high energy gamma rays toward quantifying neutron emission rates and 234U enrichment in UF6 cylinders

This study presents a 234U enrichment meter that uses high energy gamma and neutron count rate as measured by a portable, high-purity germanium gamma ray detector. Twenty-one 30B cylinders containing UF6 of varying origin were analyzed with an HPGe detector for high-energy gamma ray and neutron coun...
