Researchers use one-of-a-kind expertise and capabilities to test fuels of tomorrow
At the Idaho National Laboratory Hot Fuel Examination Facility, containment box operator Jake Maupin moves a manipulator arm into position around a pencil-thin nuclear fuel rod. He is preparing for a procedure that he and his colleagues have practiced repeatedly in anticipation of this moment in the hot cell.

Neutron radiography of dynamic processes is investigated. It is found that resonance-converter neutron imaging represents a promising technique for high-speed radiography. Theoretical results, obtained using edge-spread function analysis, were found to be in very good agreement with experimental observations. It is concluded that mathematical modeling can be used effectively to predict the dominant image quality characteristics of neutron radiographs of very fast transient processes.
