JCC-51™

Active Well Neutron Coincidence Counter

The JCC-51 is a versatile, high-efficiency, dual-mode neutron coincidence counter designed for active interrogation of uranium-bearing materials and passive assay of plutonium. Developed through a technology transfer from Los Alamos National Laboratory, it supports a wide range of fuel forms and enrichment levels, making it ideal for safeguards, fuel fabrication and waste verification applications.

Tag Features

  • Supports active neutron interrogation of uranium
  • Dual Mode Operated: AmLi neutron sources are not included and are no longer manufactured.
    Active Mode: Uses AmLi neutron sources to induce fission in uranium samples
    Passive Mode: Operates without sources for plutonium assay
  • Variable sample cavity for versatile sample handling
  • Fast electronics for greater performance
  • 42 3He detectors
  • Passive counting of plutonium when the AmLi sources are removed
  • Optional transport containers for enhanced portability

Description

Isotopes of uranium (235U and 238U) do not spontaneously undergo fission at a significant rate like the even-numbered isotopes of plutonium. For this reason, uranium assays utilize an external neutron interrogation source to induce fission in the sample. This is referred to as an active assay.
