LANL Licenses PC/FRAM Nuclear Safeguards Software to ORTEC

ORTEC and Los Alamos National Laboratory have entered into a licensing agreement for specialized software for nuclear safeguards applications. The license authorizes ORTEC to employ the latest version of LANL's PCFRAM code, which analyzes HPGe detector gamma-ray spectra generated from materials containing plutonium and/or uranium, and thereby determines the isotopic distribution of the plutonium and/or uranium, the ²⁴¹Am content, and the concentration of certain other radioactive isotopes. The FRAM code will be integrated within ORTEC's CONNECTIONS Windows^®/Windows 95/Windows NT spectroscopy environment for ease of use and reliability.
