| Abstract: | In a slurry of radioactive particles, radiation count and solids concentration are related by a Fredholm equation of the first kind. Two iterative methods are described and conditions for their convergence are given. Two hypothetical examples illustrate computational difficulties and their solution. Experiments with slurries of radioactive praseodymium oxalate demonstrate the feasibility of the method. Solutions are proposed for various practical problems which arise. |
