  • An Active Interrogation Technique Based on Photofission for Non-destructive Assay of Used Nuclear Fuel

    Creator:
    Wen, Xianfei
    Abstract:
    High-energy delayed γ-rays from photofission were demonstrated to be signatures for detection and identification of special nuclear materials. Such γ-rays were measured in between linac pulses using independent data acquisition systems. A list-mode system was developed to measure low-energy delayed γ-rays after irradiation. Photofission product yields of ²³⁸U and ²³⁹Pu...

  • Characterization of Oxide Growth of Aluminum Alloy 6061 for Nuclear Research and Test Reactors

    Creator:
    Wei, Youran
    Abstract:
    Oxide growth is a common phenomenon on aluminum alloy cladding surfaces in nuclear research and test reactors. Without better understanding of oxide growth, excessive oxide build up on the cladding surface reduces heat transfer capability from fuel to coolant and causes safety concerns due to the potential cladding rupture or...
