Micro-UF6-STFC The UF6 Cylinder Verification System For the UF6-STFC cylinder verification application, the Micro-trans-SPEC is supplied with a reinforced structural frame, a Stable, Thin Front Contact on the detector to eliminate in-growth of a dead layer over time, and a custom-designed tungsten collimator. (The collimator may be removed if not required). The UF6 software application is based on the classical enrichment meter method and executes on the Micro-trans-SPEC without the need for the inspector to carry an extra computer. The user interface is similar to the Micro-trans-SPEC...

Micro-UF6-STFC Real Time Results Once data acquisition has begun, the screen shown in figure 4 appears. This screen shows a portion of the spectrum (150 keV to 210 keV) with an ROI marked around the 185.7 keV peak. ROIs are also marked around the low and high background ROIs. During the acquisition, the ROIs, count rate, and enrichment results are periodically updated and displayed. Both Atom% or Wt% displays are available. System Calibration The Calibration mode is similar to the Verification mode, but the calibration constant is set based on expected results from a standard definition. It...

The Settings mode manages the hardware settings of the instrument and includes hardware setup, cooler control, energy calibration, state-ofhealth, etc., all selectable from a single screen. The energy calibration procedure (Fig. 8) is specific to the UF6 application. The hardware settings are adjusted to position the U-235 peak at 185.7 keV in channel 2476 as required by the method. The Spectra option allows the user to define “bookkeeping” options such as where spectra are to be saved and if the user is to be asked for descriptive input on saving a file. A “recall mode” allows spectra to...
