Description

The JCC-12 is a neutron coincidence counter designed for accurate, non-destructive assay of plutonium inventory samples. It assays plutonium inventory samples by counting coincidence neutrons from the spontaneous fission of the even numbered isotopes of plutonium.

Trusted for Safeguards and Inventory Verification

The JCC-12 counter is based on a design developed at Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) in the United States under the United States Department of Energy development programs.

The JCC-12 unit has also been authorized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria, for routine inspection use of nuclear material at facilities placed under international safeguards under agreements established by the Non-Proliferation Treaty and Information Circular (INFCIRC) 153 (Revised). The JCC-12 counter was specifically developed to meet IAEA safeguards requirements for the INVS, the Inventory Sample Coincidence Counter by LANL.
