      abstract     = {This open access book describes the nondestructive assay
                      techniques that are used for the measurement of nuclear
                      material (primarily uranium and plutonium) for nuclear
                      material accountancy purposes. It is a substantial revision
                      to the so-called PANDA manual that has been a standard
                      reference since its publication in 1991. The book covers the
                      origin and interactions of gamma rays and neutrons as they
                      affect nuclear measurements and also describes the theory
                      and practice of calorimetry. The book gives a description of
                      many instruments based on these techniques that are applied
                      in the field. Although the basic physics has not changed
                      since PANDA was first published, the last thirty years have
                      seen many advances in analysis methods, instrumentation, and
                      applications. The basic descriptions of the origin and
                      interactions of radiation have been updated and include
                      newer references. There have been extensive revisions of the
                      description of gamma detection methods, attenuation
                      correction procedures, and analysis methods, including for
                      the measurement of uranium enrichment and the determination
                      of plutonium isotopic composition. Extensive revisions and
                      additions have also been made to the description of neutron
                      detectors and to the explanation of neutron coincidence
                      techniques. The chapter on neutron multiplicity techniques
                      is a new addition to this edition. The applications of gamma
                      and neutron techniques have been completely overhauled to
                      remove obsolete systems and to include many current
                      applications. The values of, and references to, nuclear data
                      have been updated. This updated edition is an essential
                      reference for academic researchers and practitioners in the
                      field. This is an open access book},
