被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：35.51(Nuclear Science & Technology)Present safeguards verification methods of high-radioactivity nuclear material use destructive analysis techniques since passive nondestructive techniques are incapable of determining the nuclear material content. To improve this verification process, the JAEA and EC-JRC Ispra, Italy have been collaborating to develop delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy for composition analysis of the fissile nuclides as an aspect of the MEXT subsidy for improving nuclear security and the like. Multiple experiments were performed over three years using PUNITA to interrogate U and Pu samples to determine the signature from the short-lived fission products. We observed many gamma rays useful to determine the composition of a mixed nuclear material sample. Presented here are the results of these measurements with correlations to the interrogation, mass, volume, and sample homogeneity.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：48.99(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)Delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy is an active-NDA technique used to determine the composition of HRNM samples by peak-ratio comparison of GRs above 3-MeV from the short-lived fission products. Filtering out the passive GRs from long-lived FPs reduces the DGS signal, so thermal neutrons are used to induce more fission events from fissile nuclides. We are developing a compact system to moderate 
2-MeV neutrons that are easier to moderate than 14-MeV neutrons from DT generators. This work describes the ideal moderator optimization for a Cf source that results in 
cm
passing through the sample space with 
70% of those below 1-eV. Practical modifications resulted in 
20% reductions compared to the optimized design. Evaluations of DGS signals and backgrounds conclude that only a 21-MBq Cf source is required.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：86.43(Nuclear Science & Technology)Along with the global increase of applications using nuclear materials (NM), the requirements to nuclear security and safeguards for the development of effective characterization methods are growing. Mass verification of NM of low radioactivity is performed using passive non-destructive analysis (NDA) techniques whereas destructive analysis (DA) techniques are applied for accurate analysis of nuclide composition. In addition to the characterization by passive NDA, a sample can be further characterized by active NDA techniques. An active neutron NDA system equipped with a pulsed neutron generator is currently under development for studies of NDA methods. Among the methods DGS uses the detection of decay -rays from fission products (FP) to determine ratios of fissile nuclides present in the sample. A proper evaluation of such -ray spectra requires integration of nuclear data such as fission cross-sections, fission yields, half-lives, decay chain patterns, and decay -ray emission probabilities. The development of the DGS technique includes experimental verification of some nuclear data of fissile materials, as well as development of the device. This presentation will be a brief introduction of the active neutron NDA project and an explanation of the DGS development program.

Under the collaboration between the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and European Commissions' Joint Research Center (EC-JRC), development of four active neutron-interrogation non-destructive assay methods for nuclear non-proliferation and safeguards are in progress. The techniques are differential die-away analysis, delayed gamma-ray analysis (DGA), neutron resonance transmission analysis, and prompt gamma-ray analysis. Information obtained by each method is used complementarily to characterize a sample. DGA utilizes moderated pulsed neutrons from a D-T neutron generator to induce fission reaction of nuclear materials. Delayed gamma rays from the fission products (FP) are measured to determine the ratios of fissile nuclides (e.g. 
U, and 
Pu) in the sample. Experimental studies of the DGA method are in progress with the Pulsed Neutron Interrogation Test Assembly (PUNITA) in EC-JRC Ispra. Here we present an overview of the study plan of these DGA experiments along with the latest results. This research was implemented under the subsidiary for nuclear security promotion of MEXT.

保障措置検認においては技術の改良に伴い、特に、新しいNDA技術では測定の不確かさ(誤差)については正確に評価・申告することが必要である。我々が開発している遅発線分光においては、(核分裂性核種比分析用)逆モンテ・カルロ法を使うこととしている。この方法は、測定データ(線スペクトル)の再現分析モンテ・カルロスペクトルを詳細に評価することで系統誤差を決定することができる。このワークショップでは、その予備的な結果を報告する。

Under the MEXT research program, The Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency is developing Delayed Gamma-ray Spectroscopy (DGS). The DGS instrument irradiates a sample with neutrons to induce fission and then observes gamma rays emitted during the radioactive decay of the fission products. Since DGS uses neutron sources, it is important to monitor these to both confirm the source consistency and normalize delayed gamma-ray spectra. In addition, prompt-fission and delayed neutron signatures can be used to verify the DGS analysis. To do this, 
He and 
He neutron detectors have been investigated. Since the DGS instrument must be compact, the neutron detectors will be close to the neutron sources and fissionable samples within the instrument. Consequently, several characterization studies were performed for short source-detector distances. This paper will describe experimental results with associated simulations, in light of how the neutron detection systems will be integrated into the DGS instrument.
