When we stuck a meter (PIC-6) on the side of a drum and extrapolated curie content from a standard isotopic mix of the plant that was ISOCS.....
that was BTP 1983 Technical Position on Waste Classification for NRC licensees, I can only begin to imagine how DOE implements the same, lack of DOE standardization being what it is....
....Then we put Sodium Iodide detectors with multi channel analyzers next to that drum and that was new......
that could be construed as ISOCS,...
albeit the Chevy Vega of ISOCS systems,....
.....Then we constructed standard geometry configurations for drums, boxes, and cargo containers and that was new......
If your definition of new is circa 1984, then okay,...
if 1994 or 2004 or 2014, then you were working in the parish-pump provinces of all things nuclear,...
...I suppose it is how you look at it....
I look at it as what I was born to do,...
.....PIC-6, wow we have come a long way baby.
true that,...
thank goodness!!
