Use of CEvNS to monitor spent nuclear fuel [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2022 Increasing amounts of spent nuclear fuel are stored in dry storage casks for prolonged periods of time. To date no effective technology exists to re-verify cask contents should this become necessary. We explore the applicability of Coherent-Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) to monitor the content of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from dry storage ...
