Active and passive neutron scanner

Listing Description

Result description

The neutron chamber is built to be transportable and shield all neutron produced within to protect users, plus it is used to termalize the neutron to enanche measurements capabilities. A conveyor is used to automatize the drum positioning and can be integrated in a supply chain.

The system is composed by:

  • N.12 detection blocks equipped with 7 3He detectors each;
  • N. 2 monitoring detectors;
  • N.1 neutron generator [3];
  • N.1 252Cf neutron source to be located for testing purposes;
  • A rotating plate used for the motion of the drum during the measurement.

All the instruments are cabled to have all the read-out electronics and the power supplies outside the active zone to reduce to the minimum radiological problems.

Missions

Addressing target audiences and expressing needs

Our needs are
  • To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
  • Collaboration
We specifically need / are looking for

We are looking for collaboration with research organization of policy makers, as well as opportunities to commercialize our products.

Target audiences
  • EU and Member State Policy-makers
  • International Organisations (ex. OECD, FAO, UN, etc.)
  • Research and Technology Organisations

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects

Current stage description

The neutron inspection system has been tested estensivly during the MICADO project, we have used it in a working envoroment with drums. Unfortunately, the system is composed by parts belonging to different partners, some of which have also be recyled from other systems/experiments. Therefore we would like to build a complete system from scratch and commision in a real operating enviroment.

Replicability

The result is replicable as it is and already could be used by different waste operators thanks to its intrinsic flexbility, it is composed by commercially avalable components and easy to replicate designs. It was conceived to be adaptable to different end-user requirements, such modifications do not impact the replicability.

Value Proposition:

The MICADO neutron inspection chamber is a transportable system capable of reaching state-of-the-art accuracy in neutron measurment, therefore it is able to detect quantities of Uranium and Plutonium of the order of 1 g inside a waste package.Such device offers, beside obvious advantages for radioactive waste characterization, also the flexibility of a relocatable system that could be deployed in various locations with ease according to the scenario, thus reducing operational costs.Moreover, thanks to the intrinsic digitalization of MICADO, the system will be easier to operate and produces data in a digital format that could be easly stored in a dedicated database, and eventually combined with other measurements for a complete assesment of the radioactive drum.
