OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

A proof-of-principle device for producing isodose maps of the radiation field due to an arbitrary gamma-ray source distribution has been constructed. Borrowing methodology from medical computerized tomography imaging, radiation fields are scanned with a pair of collimated ionization chambers by a series of rotations and translations. Experimental considerations limit each scan to two carriage positions, resulting in highly distorted maps. By modeling the map distortion as the result of a linear, space invariant degrading function, an inverse filter was used to remove the distortion. Application of the inverse filter has proved fruitful, and high-quality accurate maps have been produced
