TAILIEUCHUNG - Statistical sampling applied to the radiological characterization of historical waste

The evaluation of the activity of radionuclides in radioactive waste is required for its disposal in final repositories. Easy-to-measure nuclides like g-emitters and high-energy X-rays can be measured via non- destructive nuclear techniques from outside a waste package. Some radionuclides are difficult-to-measure DTM from outside a package because they are a- or b-emitters. The present article discusses the application of linear regression scaling factors SF and the so-called mean activity method to estimate the activity of DTM nuclides on metallic waste produced at the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN . Various statistical sampling techniques including simple random sampling systematic sampling stratified and authoritative sampling are described and applied to 2 waste populations of activated copper cables. The bootstrap is introduced as a tool to estimate average activities and standard errors in waste characterization. The analysis of the DTM Ni- 63 is used as an example. Experimental and theoretical values of SFs are calculated and compared. Guidelines for sampling historical waste using probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling are finally given. 1 Introduction A statistical correlation can be checked only if the sampling technique adopted is probabilistic. In the present The evaluation of the activity of the radionuclides .
