Delayed gamma studies from photo-fission of 237Np for nuclear waste characterization

Fission product yield measurements using monoenergetic photon beams

“…Fission induced by photons, photofission, is therefore, a useful method for investigating the low-energy regime, which is the most important one for practical applications. Precise photoninduced fission measurements are important in a variety of research and development areas, e.g., basic nuclear physics, remote detection of nuclear materials, nuclear forensic, physics and technology in fission reactors, characterization and transmutation of nuclear waste [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

Characterization of Old Nuclear Waste Packages Coupling Photon Activation Analysis and Complementary Non-Destructive Techniques

“…Due to time constraints, the analysis of high-energy delayed gamma-ray signal was not used in a quantitative purpose. It is important to emphasize that this work would be possible, thanks to an important work carried out during the last years by CEA IRFU and dedicated to the classification of highenergy gamma-ray emitters [10].…”

Monoenergetic photon-induced fission cross-section ratio measurements for U235 , U238 , and Krishichayan1, Finch2, Howell3 et al. 2018Phys. Rev. C

“…Precise data for photon-induced nuclear fission are im-portant in a variety of research and development areas, e.g., basic nuclear physics, activation analysis of materials, remote detection of nuclear materials, nuclear forensics, production of medical isotopes, and physics and technology of fission reactors.
