Nondestructive Assay Measurements Using the RPI Lead Slowing-Down Spectrometer
The use of a lead slowing-down spectrometer (LSDS) is considered as a possible option for nondestructive assay of fissile material of used nuclear fuel. The primary objective is to quantify fissile isotopes, particularly 239Pu and 235U, via a direct measurement distinguishing them through their characteristic fission spectra in the LSDS. In this paper, we present several assay measurements perf...
متن کاملNon-Destructive Assay of Plutonium and Uranium with the RPI LSDS
Lead Slowing-Down Spectroscopy (LSDS) is a candidate for non-destructive assay of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) [4]. Research was collaborated via the Material Protection, Accounting, and Control Technology (MPACT) campaign under the Department of Energy. Researchers include: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), R...
متن کاملThe Innovations in Fuel Cycle Research Awards Program — A Student Competition
The use of a Lead Slowing-Down Spectrometer (LSDS) is considered as a possible option for nondestructive assay of fissile material in used (spent) nuclear fuel. The primary objective is to quantify the remaining fissile content of the fuel consisting mainly of Pu and U. The characterization of spent fuel is particularly important for nuclear safeguards and for determining the fuel burn-up level...
متن کاملMicrobial Fuel Cell: New Assay for Nutritive Value Determination of Whole Cottonseed Used in Ruminants Nutrition
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between gas produced through in vitro gas production test and microbial fuel cell (MFC) technique and introduce new assay for evaluation of ruminants feedstuffs. The treatments were 1) control diet (without whole cottonseed, monensin and vitamin E; CD), 2) diet containing 20.00% whole cottonseed (CSD), 3) diet including 20.00% who...
