Abstract
Several new instruments for process control, laboratory analyses, and product assay and inventory were developed for the 24XCm and 252Cf production programs at SRP. Alpha activities between 106 and 10´ dpm and neutron activities up to 1011 n/sec are monitored, picogram amounts of 252 Cf and nanogram amounts of 244Cm are determined routinely, and precision assays of up to 100-mg quantities of 252Cf product are quickly made.
