Abstract:
Nuclear radiation detection laboratories are confronted with huge number of products to be analyzed for dangerous radiation levels. Since the precision in determining the right level of radioactivity for a given product is directly proportional to the time allocated for that particular product, then the limited working hours for these laboratories become the scarce resource. In this paper, a nonlinear constrained model is developed to find the optimal allocation of time for each product in order to obtain the best possible estimate for the level of radiation for each given product. A validation procedure for this model was carried out using special cases.
