Abstract

Methods are presented for certifying standard samples of fissile materials having a 0.5–3-mg/cm2-thick layer of a fissile material. Methods of counting α particles and γ photons are employed to certify standard samples of uranium and neptunium, using alpha and gamma spectrometers and reference standard samples for which the number of nuclei in the target-nuclide has been established by several independent methods.
