    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the non-destructive assay of nuclear reactor fuels. Neutron irradiation of the fuel emits fission neutrons and gammas in groups of two to three neutrons and about five gammas for each fission and these neutrons and gammas are detected in a coincident counting system to obtain a quantitative assay of the fissionable species in the fuel. The proportions of various fissile isotopes in a fuel sample are also detected by coincident counting at a plurality of coincidence levels.
