New Guide for A Guide to Total Measurement Uncertainty Estimation and Reporting for Nondestructive Assay Measurements
1. Scope
This guide describes the methodology and good practice for developing and reporting Total Measurement Uncertainty (TMU) estimates for Non-Destructive Assay (NDA) measurements, instruments, calculations, or systems.
Keywords
Non-Destructive Assay; Total measurement uncertainty; Neutron multiplicity; Calorimetry; Isotopic
Rationale
Adopting a consistent uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework, based on commonly accepted scientific methods, across all NDA techniques, promotes better understanding and implementation of both the NDA techniques and the UQ process, and also supports measurement and reporting consistent with good practices. This guide is intended to be a resource and reference for, amongst others, subject matter experts, those selecting an NDA approach, instrument operators, instrument designers, facility managers, instructors, regulators, and end users of NDA data.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
