  • Abstract
    A small digital computer has been successfully interfaced to nuclear counting systems in a plutonium recovery facility. The counting systems are used to measure plutonium content of waste and process residues. The computer initializes the counting sequence, accepts the data, computes the plutonium content, and prints the documented information.
