| Abstract: | A technique that has been developed determines whether the process gas in a gaseous uranium centrifuge header pipe has an enrichment ≤ 20% or > 20%. Improvements have been made in the detector collimator to improve the ability to discriminate between gas and deposit in the header pipes. The new detector collimator has been characterized for pipes having inner diameters of 4.45 and 10.16 cm. A statistical analysis indicates that this new design is well suited to the smaller diameter pipe. |
