Type:Annual Meeting Proceedings
Abstract:
We propose a new nondestructive assay system for 239 Pu and other actinides in spent nuclear fuel assembly in a water pool. Nuclear…
Type:Annual Meeting Proceedings
Abstract:
The ability to quickly quantify the Pu content within spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is essential to nuclear forensics. Analysis of the Pu to U…
