Playing the “bad guy” to enhance next-generation safety
Sometimes, cops and robbers is more than just a kid’s game. At the Department of Energy’s national laboratories, researchers are channeling their inner saboteurs to discover vulnerabilities in next-generation nuclear reactors, making sure that they’re as safe as possible before they’re even constructed.

Radioluminescence were measured in several ceramics materials under irradiation in 60Co gamma-ray irradiation facility using the fused silica core fiber. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), europium oxide (Eu2O3), and gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) had luminescent peaks. These peaks had the linearity to the gamma-ray dose rate under 6.3 Gy/s.
