Observation of Neutrons with a Gadolinium Doped Water Cerenkov Detector
S. Dazeley, A. Bernstein, N. S. Bowden +1
Spontaneous and induced fission in Special Nuclear Material (SNM) such as 235U and 239Pu results in the emission of neutrons and high energy gamma-rays. The multiplicities of and t…
Observation of the Isotopic Evolution of Pressurized Water Reactor Fuel Using an Antineutrino Detector
N. S. Bowden, A. Bernstein, S. Dazeley +3
By operating an antineutrino detector of simple design during several fuel cycles, we have observed long term changes in antineutrino flux that result from the isotopic evolution o…
Transparency of 0.2% GdCl3 Doped Water in a Stainless Steel Test Environment
W. Coleman, A. Bernstein, S. Dazeley +1
The possibility of neutron and neutrino detection using water Cerenkov detectors doped with gadolinium holds the promise of constructing very large high-efficiency detectors with w…
Monitoring the Thermal Power of Nuclear Reactors with a Prototype Cubic Meter Antineutrino Detector
A. Bernstein, N. S. Bowden, A. Misner +1
In this paper, we estimate how quickly and how precisely a reactor's operational status and thermal power can be monitored over hour to month time scales, using the antineutrino ra…
