Verifying Spent Fuel Containers Before Deep Geological Storage with Cosmic Ray Muons
D. Poulson, J. M. Durham, J. D. Bacon +2
International nuclear safeguards inspectors do not have a method to verify the contents of sealed storage casks containing spent reactor fuel. The heavy shielding that is used to l…
Cosmic ray muon computed tomography of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage casks
D. Poulson, J. M. Durham, E. Guardincerri +5
Radiography with cosmic ray muon scattering has proven to be a successful method of imaging nuclear material through heavy shielding. Of particular interest is monitoring dry stora…
Imaging the inside of thick structures using cosmic rays
E. Guardincerri, J. M. Durham, C. Morris +8
The authors present here a new method to image reinforcement elements inside thick structures and the results of a demonstration measurement performed on a mock-up wall built at Lo…
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons
Zhehui Wang, M. A. Hoffbauer, C. L. Morris +33
A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is described. The top B layer is exposed to the vacuum chamber and directly captures UCNs. The ZnS:Ag layer benea…
Tests of cosmic ray radiography for power industry applications
J. M. Durham, E. Guardincerri, C. L. Morris +6
In this report, we assess muon multiple scattering tomography as a non-destructive inspection technique in several typical areas of interest to the nuclear power industry, includin…
A double-helix neutron detector using micron-size B-10 powder
Zhehui Wang, C. L. Morris, J. D. Bacon +2
A double-helix electrode configuration is combined with a B powder coating technique to build large-area (9 in 36 in) neutron detectors. The neutron detection effic…
