Development and implementation of a plastic scintillator based facility for counting coincidences of fission particles from fissile materials

  • 1. Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

The work described in the paper was performed under ISTC Project No. 2978. The method used is counting the coincidences of neutrons and photons in plastic scintillators occurring at fission of fissile materials (FM) in AT-400 type containers. A pulsed neutron source and digital processing of experimental results are applied. The paper provides preliminary experimental results, demonstrating the feasibility of a multipurpose facility for the control and detection of FM. (author)
