Emitted AntiNeutrino Spectra for Different Reactor Burn 发射的中微子能谱不同的燃烧反应器.pptVIP

Antineutrino Monitoring of Reactors Theoretical Feasibility Studies Michael Nieto, Bill Wilson, Holly Trellue, AHLos Alamos National Laboratory Addressing Questions Raised at the International IAEA meeting Vienna 2003 Can antineutrinos be used to monitor Pu content of reactor? Are undeclared fuel removals/diversions detectible with neutrinos? Are other fuels distinguishable from Lightly enriched Uranium (LEU), e.g., 232Th-233U Can neutrinos verify the burnup of MOX-Pu fuel? Can neutrinos determine the isotopic content of spent fuel? Can neutrinos detect the movement/diversion of spent fuel?

ThO2 to max weapons usability Antineutrino Spectra for Th-233U cycles Situation Complicated by Change in Power Density for Th-U Burn For PWR LEU reactors power density remains approximately constant For Th-U reactors the power would be shared between LEU seed assemblies and Th-U blanket assemblies. Power in Th-U-233 assemblies can change significantly over several cycles and be compensated for by a change in th
