ORTEC Signs MGA++ Licensing and Development Agreement with LLNL

ORTEC and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have entered into licensing and development agreements for specialized software for nuclear safeguards applications. The license covers the MGA++ suite of codes, which analyze HPGe detector gamma-ray spectra from a wide variety of nuclear safeguards samples in order to determine relative plutonium isotopic abundances and/or uranium enrichment. The development agreement (CRADA) relates to further improvements to the code and an improved "seamless" integration within the ORTEC CONNECTIONS Windows^®/Windows 95/Windows NT spectroscopy environment for ease of use and reliability.
