This report surveys the 14 advanced NDA techniques that were examined by the Spent Fuel NDA Project of the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI) of the U.S. DOE-NNSA. It discusses and critique NDA techniques from a view point of obtaining higher accuracies. The report shows the main problem, large uncertainties in the assay results are caused primarily by using too few independent NDAs. In this report authors shows that at least three independent NDA techniques are required for obtaining better accuracies, since the physics of the NDA of SFAs is three dimensional.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:43.65(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The oxide layer on the 12Cr steel, HCM12A, is investigated using a scanning probe microscope (SPM), which was formed in lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) at 450500C, during 5500 hrs. Hitherto oxide formation mechanisms were studied from viewpoints of the location of original base metal surface, the pass for oxygen travel and Fe diffusion to understand the stability of oxide layer. The new findings in this research are that surface potential measurement detected the boundary between (FeCr)O and FeO, which is not found at the topographic mode measurement. The spinel layer can be distinguished from the bulk area with lower surface potential profile, but near the boundary between the spinel and magnetite layers the surface potential profile seems to be continuous except for the narrow path corresponding to the boundary line. The band structure penetrating magnetite and spinel layer was found, which was not found at the topography.
