To prevent the diversion of nuclear material as well as illicit production, transport and use of nuclear material we investigated in mobile techniques to detect and identify such material in the field as early as possible. For that purpose we use a highly sensitive gamma measurement system installed in a car. It consists of two large volume plastic scintillators, one on each side of the car,...

The MultiSpectrometer is a photonic spectrometry device which targets to quickly and precisely detect gamma photon inside fluids.
The poster will rely on:
- presentation of 3 inline industrial application (nuclear plant);
- features and performances of the system;
- spectrum examples acquired on production line (nuclear workshops);
- explanation on its ability to well suit to particular...

The detection of electron antineutrinos emitted in the decay chains of the fission products in nuclear reactors associated with accurate simulations provides an efficient method to assess both the thermal power and the evolution of the core fuel composition. This information could be used by the International Agency for Atomic Energy for safeguarding civil nuclear reactors in the future. The...

Monitoring the status of a reactor and its fissile content in a continuous mode using antineutrinos is one of challenging topics for safeguarding. Detectors deployed thus far require volumes of several cubic meters. In our search for a very compact antineutrino detector we have investigated an indirect method for antineutrino detection. In a first test of this hypothesis de Meijer et al. we...

The detection of antineutrinos emitted in the decay chains of the fission products in nuclear reactors associated with accurate simulations could provide an isotopic tomography of the core. Nevertheless, their extremely low interaction probability makes the shielding of antineutrinos, practically impossible. In conclusion, such kind of technique could detect a change occurring in the reactor...

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of atomic emission spectroscopic technique which is capable to detect almost all the elements from the periodic table in different sample types (solid, liquid or gas). Other advantage of the technique is that a LIBS analysis is much faster than a conventional laboratory technique. Beside the easy usability and fastness of the system the...
