Abstract: A method has been developed and demonstrated to detect and locate reactor fuel element failures by means of primary coolant delayed neutron (DN) activity measurements. The initial ...

Recent studies have introduced several novel eutectic scintillators, each utilizing different combinations of materials to optimize neutron detection capabilities. For instance, the development of ...

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron ...

We are collaborating closely with port partners at AWE Ltd. and several other companies in order to develop and evaluate 3He alternative technologies for neutron detection. In order to do this, we ...

A new detector at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully observed neutrons in configurations and at angles where they had previously ...
