DEMONSTRATION OF ACTIVE NEUTRON INTERROGATION OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS USING A HIGH-INTENSITY SHORT-PULSE-LASER-DRIVEN NEUTRON SOURCE

Demonstration of active neutron interrogation of special nuclear materials using a high-intensity short-pulse-laser-driven neutron source

Abstract Detecting shielded special nuclear material, such as nuclear explosives, is a difficult challenge pursued by non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, and nuclear security programs worldwide.Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source ava

Experimental Study of Energy Dissipation at Baffled Chute Spillway

Experimental observation on a model of free over flow spillway is used in this study.Three configurations of baffle placement are used in the experiment.The energy along the flow over the spillway were calculated based on measured flow depth and discharge during the experiment.Variations of flow depth and discharge were determined based on baffle h
