TL;DR: This prototype neutron detector design, first characterized and tested at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud and then at JRC Ispra, was successfully shown to detect thermal neutrons with the expected efficiency and an outstanding gamma rejection capability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) has been applied to a geochemical dataset obtained by XRF analysis on sediments from 11 alpine lakes located in Italy, and four interpretable factors were identified through PMF analysis, in connection with the mineralogical/chemical features of lake sediments in the catchment areas.

TL;DR: In this article, the PGET head consists of two banks of 104 CdTe detectors each with integrated data acquisition electronics, which can be rotated around the fuel element using an integrated stepping motor mounted on a rotating table.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on spectrally resolved gamma-ray measurements performed on a diverse set of 50 spent fuel assemblies [25 pressurized water reactor (PWR) assemblies and 25 boiling water Reactor (BWR), and these same 50 assemblies will be measured with neutron-based NDA instruments and a full-length calorimeter.

TL;DR: The 3He-based detectors were evaluated in a series of workshops organized by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as discussed by the authors.
