NEUP CINR-21-24307: Plasma-Bubble Spectroscopy: A Method for Real-Time Material Quantification in Molten Salts

The overarching objective of the proposed research is to investigate a new method for quantifying nuclear materials in molten salts using a technique we call “plasma-bubble spectroscopy” (PBS). The proposed technique addresses several critical challenges facing materials accounting in molten salts: online monitoring capability, shot-to-shot stability, optical clarity, and the possibility of uranium isotopic quantification.
