HENC™ High Efficiency Passive Neutron Counter

The WM3100 HENC™ High Efficiency Neutron Counter delivers highly accurate, nondestructive assay of 55-gallon waste drums — combining >30% neutron detection efficiency, automated operation and advanced correction techniques to ensure reliable plutonium quantification even in complex matrices.

Tag Features

  • 208 liter (55 gallon) drum counter
  • >30% efficiency
  • <0.7 cps coincidence background at sea level
  • MDAs of less than 20 nCi/g
  • Automated loading and unloading
  • Add-A-Source correction
  • Coincidence or multiplicity counting

Description

The HENC High Efficiency Neutron Counter represents the ultimate in the Mirion family of passive neutron coincidence counters. 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. With the addition of enhanced correction and analysis techniques such as Add-A-Source (AAS) and multiplicity counting, the HENC system is also an extremely accurate assay system.

System Components

Components of the proposed system include the neutron counter with 3He detectors, fast preamplifier/discriminator circuit boards, coincidence electronics, computer hardware and application software. The turnkey system is designed for ease of operation and minimal maintenance.
