Measurement of Spent Fuel Assemblies - Overview of the Status of the Technology for Initiating Discussion at NATIONAL RESEARCH CENTRE KURCHATOV INSTITUTE June 2013
TL;DR: An overview of the status of the technology for the measurement of the fissile material content of spent nuclear reactor fuel is given in this article, with the emphasis on how the needs of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency are met by the available technology and what more needs to be done in this area.

Conceptual design and initial evaluation of a neutron flux gradient detector
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a detector based on four small fiber-mounted scintillation detector tips arranged in a rectangular pattern, which is capable of measuring the two Cartesian components of the flux gradient vector in the horizontal plane.
Developments Toward a Novel Methodology for Spent Nuclear Fuel Verification
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm to identify the number and location of possible fuel pins that have been removed from the fuel assemblies and/or replaced with dummies.

Radiation detection and measurement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed analysis of the effect of different types of detectors on the performance of the detection of neutrons and their effect on the detection efficiency and error prediction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Types of Solar Cells and Application
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied different types of solar cells and their applications and showed that nearly all photovoltaic energy conversion uses semiconductor materials in the form of a p-n junction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation damage in scintillating crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the effect of radiation on scintillating crystals and conclude that the predominant radiation damage in crystal scintillation is the radiation-induced absorption, or color center formation, not the loss of scINTillation light yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion length measurement by means of ionizing radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-beam method was used to determine the diffusion length of solar cells with high-energy electrons, heavy particles, and gamma rays in silicon solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of high burnup spent nuclear fuel by ICP-MS
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as the primary tool for determining concentrations of a suite of nuclides in samples excised from high-burnup spent nuclear fuel rods taken from light water nuclear reactors.
