Description

The WCAS Waste Crate Assay System is a passive neutron coincidence counter designed for low-level waste assay to determine the transuranic (TRU) activity of contaminated solid waste in containers up to 1.43 x 1.43 x 1.20 m crates. The WCAS system provides simultaneous passive neutron coincidence and high-resolution gamma isotopic analysis, allowing rapid characterization of plutonium wastes.
