“…This cask is a key component of a pathway to characterize irradiated materials with pulsed neutrons at LANSCE described previously [14]. While in previous reports [2,3,15,16,17] these pulsed neutron techniques were described in detail and applied to un-irradiated materials, application to irradiated materials promise the highest return. These methods probe the bulk of a material and are applicable to actual fuels rather than custom-made demonstration samples and are based on energy-resolved neutron imaging (ERNI) and neutron diffraction.…”
