摘要

The Sellafield DryPac Plant (SDP) is a new facility for the treatment of Intermediate LevelrnWaste (ILW), prior to long term storage in a future Nirex repository. A current Nirex requirementrnis that the fissile content of waste packages shall not exceed a predefined post closure caserncriticality limit. In order to police this limit the plutonium content of each SDP product drum willrnbe measured by Passive Neutron Coincidence Counting (PNCC), using a pair of custom-designedrnassay chambers. These instruments have already been assembled and subjected to works andrncustomer acceptance tests.rnIt has recently been decided to incorporate an active neutron interrogation capability into onernof the existing passive neutron monitors (PNM). This is intend ed to allow the fissile uraniumrncontent to be measured for selected drums, containing waste from particular streams, which arernknown to have a significant inventory of enriched uranium. Active neutron interrogation is hencernnecessary for these drums, to avoid the risk of unknowingly exceeding the criticality limit due torn235U.rnThis paper describes the modifications which are now being been made to one of the passivernneutron monitors, to incorporate a californium shuffler system, with a description of the physics andrnengineering design of the system. The proposed methodology for the shuffler calibration, usingrnsimulated waste matrices, is also described.
