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 thermoluminescent method for displaying thermal-neutron images is described. A sheet of 6 LiF, exposed to the imaging neutrons for periods as long as is necessary to capture the image, can be made to reproduce the image by means of the light emission produced by heating at anytime after the exposure. The excellent storage capability of this detection method makes it attractive for use with relatively low intensity neutron radiographic beams.
