Zaporizhzhia ‘extremely fragile’ relying on single off-site power line, IAEA warns
Europe’s largest nuclear power plant has just one remaining power line for essential nuclear safety and security functions, compared with its original 10 functional lines before the military conflict with Russia, warned Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

A new concept of compart neutron camera with directional neutron detector arrays is proposed for nuclear fusion experiment. The basic performance of the directional neutron detector is made clear through experiment for a prototype detector with 14MeV neutrons and design consideration of the detector specification to optimize its directionality. The results show that the angle resolution defined as a full width of neutron incident angles at a half maximum of detector counts would reach up to around 4 degrees at minimum around 45 degrees neutron incidence to the detector axis. The concept for a compact neutron camera is also given by making good use of an array of the optimized directional neutron detectors.
