    3. Outline Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence What is it? How can it be used for assay? Specific problems: Age-dating radioactive sources Calculations indicate NRF can be used to measure time since separation from fission products of ~kCi 137Cs sources. Spent nuclear fuel Coherent scattering of photons from high-Z material provides too strong a background to directly measure NRF signals from most actinides. Nuclear resonance fluorescence is being added to ENDF databases Other elastic processes are needed
