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.

One-dimensional time-dependent neutron transport calculations have been performed to predict the signals that would be observed in pulsed-neutron uranium logging experiments. Although the actual experimental geometry had to be idealized somewhat to conform to the one-dimensional nature of the calculations, the results clearly show the essential features of the logging signal. These calculations are economical enough that parameter studies are feasible.
