In this work, an absolute method has been investigated to measure the ²³⁵U mass content in low and intermediate radioactive waste as a by-product in ⁹⁹Mo production process, and at research labs. Destructive Assay (DA) using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) was used to perform elemental analysis for the collected samples. Absolute Non Destructive Assay (NDA) methods in collaboration with the general monte-carlo N-transport Code MCNP5 (MC) were employed to fully characterizing the samples
