of nuclear power plants. Disposal of Decommissioning Waste requires as much
measurement data for the radionuclides contained within the waste as possible. Data
that are obtained is then used to create an inventory of the radionuclides in the various
types of wastes. This research investigates a route to obtaining additional
measurement data for such inventories. The importance of these inventories is to
provide as much information as possible so that a reliable risk assessment can be
performed on the waste samples and the proposed method of disposal. [Continues.]
