Multi-Group Analysis (MGA software) was designed to improve the accuracy of these measurements over traditional methods. In addition to the primary application of measuring Pu isotopics, MGA software can be used to determine other actinides such as 235U, 238U, 237Np and 241Am as well.
The Features
- Determines relative plutonium isotopic abundances in nondestructive assay applications
- Determines the relative amounts of certain other non-plutonium actinides
- Optimized for spectra collected with HPGe detectors which are optimized for high resolution at low energies over a wide range of count rates
- Incorporates a sophisticated peak fitting and multiplet deconvolution algorithm to improve the accuracy in samples with complex isotope mixtures
- Requires no efficiency calibration for matrix density, thickness or container characteristics
- Operates in either one or two detector mode
- Integrated into Mirion waste and safeguards instruments to perform a sophisticated analysis with minimal operator interaction
- Developed in collaboration with top experts in nondestructive safeguards applications and hardened for waste and security applications
- Offers “Waste” and “Unusual
