商品描述
This open access book describes the nondestructive assay techniques that are used for the measurement of nuclear material (primarily uranium and plutonium) for nuclear material accountancy purposes. It is a substantial revision to the so-called PANDA manual that has been a standard reference since its publication in 1991. The book covers the origin and interactions of gamma rays and neutrons as they affect nuclear measurements and also describes the theory and practice of calorimetry. The book gives a description of many instruments based on these techniques that are applied in the field.
Although the basic physics has not changed since PANDA was first published, the last thirty years have seen many advances in analysis methods, instrumentation, and applications. The basic descriptions of the origin and interactions of radiation have been updated and include newer references. There have been extensive revisions of the description of gamma detection methods, attenuation correction procedures, and analysis methods, including for the measurement of uranium enrichment and the determination of plutonium isotopic composition. Extensive revisions and additions have also been made to the description of neutron detectors and to the explanation of neutron coincidence techniques. The chapter on neutron multiplicity techniques is a new addition to this edition. The applications of gamma and neutron techniques have been completely overhauled to remove obsolete systems and to include many current applications. The values of, and references to, nuclear data have been updated. This updated edition is an essential reference for academic researchers and practitioners in the field.
This is an open access book.

這本開放存取的書籍描述了用於核材料（主要是鈾和鈽）測量的非破壞性檢測技術，旨在核材料核算的目的。這是對自1991年出版以來一直作為標準參考的所謂PANDA手冊的重大修訂。書中涵蓋了伽瑪射線和中子的起源及其相互作用，這些因素影響核測量，並且還描述了熱量計的理論和實踐。書中對基於這些技術的多種儀器進行了描述，這些儀器應用於該領域。
儘管自PANDA首次出版以來基本物理學並未改變，但過去三十年來在分析方法、儀器和應用方面取得了許多進展。輻射的起源和相互作用的基本描述已更新，並包含了更新的參考資料。對伽瑪檢測方法、衰減修正程序和分析方法的描述進行了廣泛的修訂，包括鈾濃縮測量和鈽同位素組成的確定。對中子檢測器的描述以及中子重合技術的解釋也進行了廣泛的修訂和補充。本版新增了有關中子多重性技術的章節。伽瑪和中子技術的應用已完全進行了大修，以刪除過時的系統並納入許多當前的應用。核數據的值和參考資料也已更新。這本更新版是學術研究人員和該領域從業者的重要參考資料。
這是一本開放存取的書籍。
作者簡介
Dr. Martyn T. Swinhoe has worked in Europe and the USA on the development of neutron and gamma techniques for the measurement of uranium and plutonium for nuclear materials accountancy. He has been involved with implementation of instruments and training of nuclear inspectors and operators. He was awarded the Vincent J. DeVito Distinguished Service Award in 2017 from the Institute for Nuclear Materials Management.
Dr. Peter Santi has been involved in both the development and deployment of Non-Destructive Assay techniques for over 20 years. In addition, he has either organized or been an instructor for over 50 Non-Destructive Assay training courses at both Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and at the International Atomic Energy Agency. In recognition of his efforts in running the Safeguards Technology Training Program, he was awarded a LANL Distinguished Performance Award in 2011.
Dr. William Geist is a senior staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory where he is a subject matter expert on nondestructive assay techniques for safeguards and security for over 25 years. He has served as the director of the Safeguards and Security Technology Training Program at LANL and worked at the IAEA in Vienna, Austria training inspectors on NDA technologies.
