| Abstract: | Spent nuclear fuel chemical reprocessing plants process several 103 kg of spent nuclear fuel, especially Pu isotopes, which present significant potential for terrorism (Note: ∼8 kg Pu constitutes a threat level quantity). This requires detecting actinides in transit, but also, to ensure they are not diverted. Present-day sensors disallow real-time monitoring leading to significantly non-optimal operations. |
