  4. 17. Investigation of a Methodology for the Detection of Diversions in Spent Nuclear Fuel

    Author : Moad al-Dbissi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flux gradient detector; artificial neural networks; partial defects; neutron scintillator; spent nuclear fuel; nuclear safeguards; machine learning;
