Assessment of uncertainties in Neutron Multiplicity Counting

This paper describes a methodology for a complete and correct assessment of the errors coming from the uncertainty of each individual component on the final result. A general methodology accounting for all the main sources of error (both type-A and type-B) will be outlined. In order to better illustrate the method, a practical example applying it to the uncertainty estimation for a special case of multiplicity counter, the SNMC developed at JRC, will be given.
