ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining the enrichment of uranium dioxide powder is disclosed. A uranium dioxide powder is contained within a closed receptacle having a top, side and bottom wall surfaces. The receptacle is turned upside down so that the uranium dioxide powder is shifted within the receptacle to obtain a more uniform bulk density of the powder contained therein. The natural gamma radiation emission count of the powder is detected while the receptacle is upside down to determine the enrichment thereof.
