Detection of Anomalous Reactor Activity Using Antineutrino Count Rate Evolution Over the Course of a Reactor Cycle [PDF]
, 2010 This paper analyzes the sensitivity of antineutrino count rate measurements to changes in the fissile content of civil power reactors. Such measurements may be useful in IAEA reactor safeguards applications. We introduce a hypothesis testing procedure to

Level, distribution and sources of plutonium in the coastal areas of China.
Chemosphere, 2019 Plutonium is an important radioactive element in view of its biological toxicity and environmental impact. The two most important isotopes of plutonium, 239Pu and 240Pu, in the surface soil from the coastal area of China were determined using ...

On the possibility to improve mixed uranium-plutonium fuel in fast reactors [PDF]
Nuclear Energy and Technology, 2020 Accumulation of plutonium extracted from the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) of light water reactors is one of the central problems in nuclear power. To reduce out-of-the-reactor Pu inventory, leading nuclear power countries (France, Japan) use plutonium in ...

Plutonium production and particles incorporation into the human body.
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2019 Plutonium is one of the most toxic radioactive substances known. The isotope 239Pu gained attention when it had become known as a potential explosive material for atomic bombs.

Nature of non-magnetic strongly-correlated state in delta-plutonium [PDF]
, 2005 Ab-initio relativistic dynamical mean-field theory is applied to resolve the long-standing controversy between theory and experiment in the "simple" face-centered cubic phase of plutonium called delta-Pu.

Terrorism and maritime shipment of nuclear material [PDF]
, 2007 Opponents of the nuclear industry often claim that material in transit is vulnerable to attack by terrorist groups who might seek to take the cargo and make a bomb, or otherwise cause a radiological incident.

Insights into the sonochemical synthesis and properties of salt-free intrinsic plutonium colloids
Scientific Reports, 2017 Fundamental knowledge on intrinsic plutonium colloids is important for the prediction of plutonium behaviour in the geosphere and in engineered systems. The first synthetic route to obtain salt-free intrinsic plutonium colloids by ultrasonic treatment of
