Determining the mass of nuclear and radionuclide samples by radiometric calorimetry
2011
This paper reports on results of measurements and analysis carried in order to recalibrate and assess the performance of our newly upgraded Small Sample
Calorimeter(SSCAL) in the Performance Laboratory of the JRC Nuclear security Unit in Ispra (Italy), using calibrated electric samples and standard reference
nuclear materials. The SSCAL is a heat flow
calorimeter, which works by measuring the voltage generated by heat-emitting sample across a thermal gap based on a
thermopilecup technology. Preliminary results of calorimetry measurements carried out on reference PuGa samples and on well characterized Am samples will be presented.
