  • Feasibility Study of Using HANARO Fuel Rods in WWR-SM Reactor

    Creator:
    Peguero, Lara M.
    Abstract:
    Interest in increased fuel supply stability has driven an investigation into possible alternate fuel for use in the WWR-SM research reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Uzbekistan. The WWR-SM is a high-power, pool-type research reactor currently utilizing IRT-4M fuel made by a single Russian supplier. A candidate for...

  • 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...
