Reactor monitoring and safeguards using antineutrino detectors
N. S. Bowden
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 w…
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…
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…
