Some specific topics examined include structure and chemistry of zircaloy-2, a model for predicting oxidation kinetics of zirconium alloys in pressurized water reactors, deformation anisotropy of annealed zircalloy-2 as a function of fast neutron fluence, and a cladding tube deformation test for stress reorientation of hydrides.
Thus we believe that a large fraction of the current backgrounds arises from fast neutron interactions that can be further reduced with additional amounts of hydrogenous materials.
The system will use pulsed fast neutron analysis to inspect the cargo, according to Joseph Gotto of the Transportation Systems Laboratory.
