WM3500

Curved Passive Neutron Slab Counters

The WM3500 is a high-performance, modular neutron detection system designed for accurate, non-destructive plutonium quantification in a wide range of sample sizes. Its curved slab architecture and high-efficiency ³He detectors enable both precise quantitative analysis and rapid go/ no-go screening, making it ideal for nuclear safeguards, waste assay and material accountability applications.

Description

The curved slab neutron coincidence slab counter measures the plutonium content of the sample by detecting coincidence neutrons from the spontaneous fission of the even numbered isotopes of plutonium. The counter is designed to make quantitative or go/no-go measurements. A JSR-15 Neutron Coincidence Analyzer is required for coincidence counting (ordered separately).
