Abstract

The United States (U. S.) Department of Energy (DOE) Materials Protection, Accounting, and Controls Technology (MPACT) campaign has been developing a Virtual Facility Distributed Test Bed of an electrochemical reprocessing facility, specifically with Safeguards and Security by Design (SSBD) in mind. At Idaho National Laboratory (INL), four measurement technologies are under development to support the MPACT Virtual Facility Distributed Test Bed. These technologies are oxide reduction (OR) voltammetry, an electrorefiner (ER) actinide sensor, a triple bubbler, and uranium and transuranic (U/TRU) measurements using a thermocouple. Laboratory and/or field-testing for each of these technologies is presented, including measurement uncertainties where applicable.
