Abstract

A non-destructive method and an experimental set-up are described by which the Pu content in UO2/PuO2 mixed oxide (MOX) pellets and in fuel rods, respectively, can be determined. The K-lines of Pu are excited by external γ-radiation (192Ir) and measured by a high-purity Ge detector. A calibration curve is presented and the detection limits are plotted as function of the time of measuring.
