Abstract
This research project addresses the characterization of nuclear spent fuel presently stored at the IEA-R1 MTR facility, which is run by the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN/CNEN). Gamma-ray spectrometry is the most direct non-destructive method for the assessment of spent fuel isotopic inventory. In-pool gamma-ray spectrometry is intended to be performed with a CdZnTe-…
