Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0025148A2] In a preferred embodiment, a method of enhancing the neutron coincidence assay of low fissile mass samples, by combining assay precision improvement algorithms with novel background and matrix correction algorithms, to provide lower levels of detection with higher confidence that the reported results are not subject to biases resulting from environmental or sample matrix effects.
