The mechanistic understanding of the intrinsic thermal safety is of significance to enhance
the sustainability of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) especially during power transients. Many …

New fuels are being developed for light water nuclear reactors with the initial goal of
improving accident tolerance. More recently, these new fuel systems are also being …

Specimens composed of a novel nuclear fuel architecture underwent testing in the Transient
Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) to investigate their behavior in thermomechanical states only …

Abstract Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) systems hold promise in reducing transit times
for exploration of the solar system by both crewed and uncrewed missions. NTP systems …

Image fusion, the process of combining different images together, can be useful to create a
more complete picture. In this work, image fusion is applied to neutron tomography of …

In digital neutron imaging, the neutron scintillator screen is a limiting factor of spatial
resolution and neutron capture efficiency and must be improved to enhance the capabilities …

Gamma-ray spectrometry is widely applied in several science fields, and in particular in non-
destructive gamma scanning and gamma emission tomography of irradiated nuclear fuel …

A series of integral reactivity-initiated accident commissioning experiments were completed
in a new static water capsule in the Transient Reactor Test Facility (ie, TREAT), marking the …

Using the newly restarted Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility at Idaho National
Laboratories, fresh (unirradiated) U 3 Si 2 fuel pellets were tested under reactivity-initiated …

The use of segmented HPGe detectors for gamma-ray tracking applications is well
established. The spectroscopic capabilities of these detectors make them most suitable for …
