Number of employees
Researcher 2 persons
Recruitment Field
Research Theme:
Development of active non-destructive assay (NDA) techniques
(This technological development will be done with a grant of MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology – Japan))
(Summary)
Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN) is developing active non-destructive assay (NDA) technologies for analysis of a highly radioactive nuclear material sample, and for detection of radioactive materials hidden in a shield. Among them, neutron resonance transmission analysis (NRTA) method requires development of a short pulsed neutron source with kinetic energy ranging from thermal to epi-thermal energies. A laser driven neutron source is considered to be a future technology for an NRTA instruments in a radioactive or nuclear material controlled area.
The researchers of this recruitment mainly participate in development of a laser driven neutron source for NRTA by (1) simulation studies of neutron generation and moderation (2) development of detector system for NRTA measurement. Both of them will share and collaborate each other subject. They also join the projects on active NDA technology developments.
