Uncovering Special Nuclear Materials by Low-energy Nuclear Reaction Imaging
Weapons-grade uranium and plutonium could be used as nuclear explosives with extreme destructive potential. The problem of their detection, especially in standard cargo containers during transit, has been described as "searching for a needle in a haystack" because of the inherently low rate of spontaneous emission of characteristic penetrating radiation and the ease of its shielding. Currently,...
متن کاملUncertainty Quantification and Management for Multi-scale Nuclear Materials Modeling Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation
To validate multiscale simulation models, it is necessary to consider evidence collected at a length scale that is different from the one at which a model predicts. In addition, epistemic and aleatory uncertainties need to be distinguished for more robust decision making. In this study, a Bayesian approach with generalized interval probability is taken for model parameter validation. A generali...
متن کاملMaterials, critical materials and clean-energy technologies
— Modern engineered materials, components and systems depend on raw materials whose properties provide essential functionality to these technologies. Some of these raw materials are subject to supply-chain risks, and such materials are known as critical materials. This paper reviews corporate, national and world perspectives on material criticality. It then narrows its focus to studies that ass...
متن کاملComplexity in nuclear materials.
Nuclear power remains a contentious issue for many. Its proponents point towards it being a cost-competitive, feasible route for meeting our ever growing appetite for energy, with relatively low greenhouse gas emissions (Nature Mater. 7, 679; 2008). Those against a nuclear-led energy policy cite concerns over the devastating impact a nuclear incident can have, as well as the complex scientific ...
