Compliance of member States to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is monitored through nuclear safeguards. The Passive Gamma Emission Tomography system is a novel instrument developed by the International Atomic Energy…

A paper study is conducted on the detection of fissile material using neutron coincidence counters. Three unknown independent properties of assays of fissile material assays are identified to be the effective mass, the (alpha,n) production…

Increasing amounts of spent nuclear fuel are stored in dry storage casks for prolonged periods of time. To date no effective technology exists to re-verify cask contents should this become necessary. We explore the applicability of…

Nuclear reactors have served as the antineutrino source for many fundamental physics experiments. The techniques developed by these experiments make it possible to use these very weakly interacting particles for a practical purpose. The…

We report a measurement of the antineutrino rate from the fission of U-235 with the STEREO detector using 119 days of reactor turned on. In our analysis, we perform several detailed corrections and achieve the most precise single…

High quality nuclear data is the most fundamental underpinning for all neutron metrology applications. This paper describes the release of version II of the International Reactor Dosimetry and Fusion File (IRDFF-II) that contains a…

This paper analyzes the sensitivity of antineutrino count rate measurements to changes in the fissile content of civil power reactors. Such measurements may be useful in IAEA reactor safeguards applications. We introduce a hypothesis…

Accelerator-driven system (ADS) facilities world-wide opens new opportunities for nuclear physics investigations, so that a high flux of neutrons through spallation reactions can be produced at these facilities. It is known that the…

We present ELDAR, a new method that exploits the potential of medium- and narrow-band filter surveys to securely identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) and determine their redshifts. Our methodology improves on traditional approaches by…

High-temperature gas reactors rely on TRIstructural-ISOtropic (TRISO) fuel for enhanced fission product retention. Accurate fuel characterization would improve monitoring of efficient fuel usage and accountability. We developed a new…

Reactor antineutrino experiment are used to study neutrino oscillation, search for signatures of nonstandard neutrino interaction, and monitor reactor operation for safeguard application. Reactor simulation is an important source of…

A numerical tool for analysing spatially anisotropic electron populations in electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasmas has been developed, using a trial-and-error electron energy distribution function (EEDF) fitting method. The method has…

The v-Angra experiment aims to estimate the flux of antineutrino particles coming out from the Angra II nuclear reactor. Such flux is proportional to the thermal power released in the fission process and therefore can be used to infer the…

Safeguarding the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in a geological repository needs an effective, efficient, reliable and robust non-destructive assay (NDA) system to ensure the integrity of the fuel prior to disposal. In the context of the…

To prevent the unauthorised spread of radioactive materials, it is essential to detect and monitor spent nuclear fuel. This paper investigates the feasibility of using a detector based on transition edge superconductors to monitor spent…

Empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) is a neutron scattering data analysis algorithm and a software package. It was developed by the British spallation neutron source (ISIS) Disordered Materials Group in 1980s, and aims to…

Fission fragment angular distributions can provide an important constraint on fission theory, improving predictive fission codes, and are a prerequisite for a precise ratio cross section measurement. Available anisotropy data is sparse,…

The Medley setup is planned to be moved to and used at the new neutron facility NFS where measurements of light-ion production and fission cross-sections are planned at 1-40 MeV. Medley has eight detector telescopes providing Delta E-Delta…

Dry casks for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) ensure the safe storage of SNF and provide radiation shielding. However, the presence of the thick casks encompassing several layers of steel and concrete makes inspection of the SNF a challenging…

There is a growing realization that neutrinos can be used as a diagnostic tool to better understand the inner workings of a nuclear weapon. Robust estimates demonstrate that an Inverse Beta Decay (IBD) neutrino scintillation detector built…
