Radiant signs contract on microreactors for the military
California-based microreactor developer Radiant Industries has announced the signing of what it calls “the first-ever agreement” to deliver a mass-manufactured nuclear microreactor to a U.S. military base. The contract was signed with the Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the U.S. Air Force as part of the Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (ANPI) program.

A technique for applying neutron radiography to the examination of radioactive material is described. This method uses a pool reactor core as a neutron source and the water as a biological shield. Radioactive specimens examined include clad fuel rods up to 1.2-m in length and stainless steel capsules up to 2.9-cm diam and 60-cm long. Representative radiographs of both types are presented.
