Combining a detection efficiency of over 30% with increased shielding to reduce backgrounds, the HENC system is designed to assay 208 liter (55 gallon) drums to detection levels on the order of 1.6 mg of ²⁴⁰Pu-effective in a 1000 second count time.

The JCC-13 and JCC-14 counters provide a flatter axial response and higher efficiency than the JCC-12™ unit. The cylindrical-shaped sample holder accommodates various samples including liquids, powders and pellets.

The WM3400 counter measures the plutonium content in 200 L (55 gal) drums by detecting coincidence neutrons from the spontaneous fission of the even numbered isotopes of plutonium.

The JCC-61 and JCC-62 counters quantitatively measure fast breeder fuel sub-assemblies, individual fuel pins, or a group of fuel pins.
