Characterization of nuclear material by Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis
The use of Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis for the characterization of nuclear materials is discussed. The method, which relies on
resonance structures in neutron-induced reaction cross sections, can be applied as a non-destructive method to characterise complex nuclear materials such as melted fuel resulting from a severe nuclear accident. Results of a demonstration experiment at the GELINA facility reveal that accurate data can be obtained at a compact facility even in the case of strong overlapping resonances.
