Module Description: In this module, students will be introduced
to nuclear material accountancy, including measurement systems,
equipment, and uncertainty calculations. Prerequisites: Students
taking this module should have completed the Basic Radiation
Detection and Introduction to Statistics courses. Learning
Objectives: After completing this module, students should be
able to describe the parties involved in nuclear material
accountancy, determine how to setup an accountancy system for a
facility, calculate any material unaccounted for and the
corresponding uncertainty, name common measurement techniques
and in what applications they should be used, and know the main
difficulties of nuclear material accountancy. Outline: This
module consists of the following sections: - Material Balance
Areas (MBAs) - Material Balance Period - Nuclear Material
Inventory - Measurement System - Material Unaccounted For (MUF)
- Nuclear Material Measurement Techniques and Equipment -
Calibrations and Sampling Each section cont
