Cerium ruthenium low-energy antineutrino measurements for safeguarding military naval reactors [PDF]
, 2021 The recent agreement to transfer nuclear submarine reactors and technology from two nuclear-weapon states to a non-nuclear-weapon state (AUKUS deal) highlights an unsolved problem in international safeguards: how to safeguard naval reactor fuel while it is on-board an operational nuclear submarine.

Nuclear Propelled Vessels and Neutrino Oscillation Experiments [PDF]
, 2002 We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrino oscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locations and times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-based neutrino oscillation ...

Decay heat power of spent nuclear fuel of power reactors with high burnup at long-term storage
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Decay heat power of actinides and fission products from spent nuclear fuel of power VVER-1000 type reactors at long-term storage is calculated. Two modes of storage are considered: mode in which single portion of actinides or fission products is loaded ...

POST CRITICAL HEAT TRANSFER AND FUEL CLADDING OXIDATION
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2016 The knowledge of heat transfer coefficient in the post critical heat flux region in nuclear reactor safety is very important. Although the nuclear reactors normally operate at conditions where critical heat flux (CHF) is not reached, accidents where ...
