Reactor antineutrino monitoring with a plastic scintillator array as a new safeguards method
arXiv:1404.7309 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2014.04.065
Abstract
We developed a segmented reactor-antineutrino detector made of plastic scintillators for application as a tool in nuclear safeguards inspection and performed mostly unmanned field operations at a commercial power plant reactor. At a position outside the reactor building, we measured the difference in reactor antineutrino flux above the ground when the reactor was active and inactive.
