Abstract Characterization of neutron energy spectrum along with the determination of sub-
cadmium to epithermal neutron flux ratio (f) and the epithermal neutron flux shape factor (α) …

A MCNP model of a 252 Cf source-based prompt gamma-ray neutron activation analysis
(PGNAA) system for bulk sample analysis was benchmarked. The indium foils activation and …

An efficient stacking method was applied to a multi-foil activation characterization of a core
face fixture in Penn State's TRIGA reactor using STAYSL PNNL software. The adjusted …

Using the Westcott convention, the Westcott flux, w φ w; modified spectral index, r T_ n/T_ 0 r
T n/T 0; neutron temperature, T n; and gold-based cadmium ratios were determined for …

Despite their importance, there is a dearth of post-detonation nuclear forensics standard
reference materials (SRMs) suitable for analysis traceable back to a national standard …

Abstract On Site Inspection is the final measure for verifying compliance of Member States
with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. In order to enable the use of ³⁷Ar as a …

Accurate knowledge of the neutron spectrum at a nuclear research reactor is a prerequisite
for planning irradiation experiments, as well as for evaluating irradiation exposure results …

In this work, a method was proposed for efficiency calibration of HPGe detector employed in
a prompt gamma-ray neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) system for large aqueous sample …

Due to a large number of incidents involving lost or stolen radioactive materials, there is fear
that a nuclear weapon may be used by a non-state actor. To combat such scenarios, the …

A compensation system based on NaI (Tl) detectors and cadmium sheet was proposed for
thermal neutron detection in the neutron/gamma field. The system consisted of two identical …
