NEUP CINR-24-31307: Development of a Benchmark Model for the Near Real-Time Radionuclide Composition Measurement System using Microcalorimetry for Advanced Reactors

The primary goal of this proposed project is to develop high fidelity Monte Carlo radiation transport models of a microcalorimetry detector informed by fuel depletion models of a MSR and a PBR to quantify the current and future capabilities of this detector technology to characterize and assay used fuel from these reactors in near real-time.
