Enabling pulse shape discrimination with commercial ASICs
John Leland, Ming Fang, Satwik Pani +3
Fast electronic readout for high-channel density scintillator-based systems is needed for radiation tracking and imaging in a wide range of applications, including nuclear physics,…
Statistical modelling and Bayesian inversion for a Compton imaging system: application to radioactive source localisation
Cecilia Tarpau, Ming Fang, Konstantinos C. Zygalakis +3
This paper presents a statistical forward model for a Compton imaging system, called Compton imager. This system, under development at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign,…
Rotation-Invariant Rapid TRISO-Fueled Pebble Identification Based on Feature Matching and Point Cloud Registration
Ming Fang, Angela Di Fulvio
Pebble bed reactor (PBR) relying on TRISO-fueled pebbles is one of the most promising Gen-IV reactor designs because of intrinsic safety and thermal efficiency. Fuel pebbles flow t…
Simulation of Charge Collection in a Boron-coated Straw Detector for Emerging Fuel Cycles
Ming Fang, Angela Di Fulvio
Tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) fuel is currently one of the most mature fuel types for candidate advanced reactor types, namely pebble bed reactors (PBRs). In PBRs, TRISO-fueled p…
Feasibility of Neutron Coincidence Counting for Spent Fuel
Ming Fang, Angela Di Fulvio
High-temperature gas reactors rely on TRIstructural-ISOtropic (TRISO) fuel for enhanced fission product retention. Accurate fuel characterization would improve monitoring of effici…
Boron Coated Straw-based Neutron Multiplicity Counter for Neutron Interrogation of TRISO Fueled Pebbles
Ming Fang, Jeff Lacy, Athanasios Athanasiades +1
Pebble bed reactors (PBRs) can improve the safety and economics of the nuclear energy production. PBRs rely on TRIstructural-ISOtropic (TRISO) fuel pebbles for enhanced fission pro…
Algorithms for TRISO Fuel Identification Based on X-ray CT Validated on Tungsten-Carbide Compacts
Ming Fang, Angela Di Fulvio
Tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) fuel is one of the most mature fuel types for candidate advanced reactor types under development. TRISO-fuel pebbles flow continuously through the r…
Enabling PSD-capability for a High-density Channel Imager
Ming Fang, Satwik Pani, Angela Di Fulvio
Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is crucial for non-proliferation and security applications, where fast neutrons need to be identified and measured in the presence of a strong gamm…
Neutron Tomography of Spent Fuel Casks
Zhihua Liua, Ming Fang, Jon George +2
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…
Effect of natural gamma background radiation on portal monitor radioisotope unmixing
Matthew Weiss, Ming Fang, Yoann Altmann +2
National security relies on several layers of protection. One of the most important is the traffic control at borders and ports that exploits Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) to de…
Quantitative Imaging and Automated Fuel Pin Identification for Passive Gamma Emission Tomography
Ming Fang, Yoann Altmann, Daniele Della Latta +2
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 nov…
Quantitative and Three-Dimensional Assessment of Holdup Material
N. Rebei, M. Fang, A. Di Fulvio
Nuclear material deposited in equipment, transfer lines, and ventilation systems of a processing facility is usually referred to as holdup. In this work, we propose to use an array…
Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy Using Fast Scintillators and Digital Electronics
Ming Fang, Nathan Bartholomew, Angela Di Fulvio
Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) is a non-destructive radiological technique widely used in material science studies. PALS typically relies on an analog coinciden…
