FAST ROSSI-ALPHA MEASUREMENTS OF PLUTONIUM USING ORGANIC SCINTILLATORS

In this work, Rossi-alpha measurements were simultaneously performed with a 3He-based detection system and an organic scintillator-based detection system. The assembly is 15 kg of plutonium (93 wt% 239Pu) reflected by copper and moderated by lead. The goal of Rossi-alpha measurements is to estimate...
