SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Tomi Akindele (LLNL)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tomi Akindele (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) \n Title: Antineutrinos as a Nuclear Safeguards Tool \nAbstract: \nTo date\, antineutrino experiments built for the purpose of demonstrating a nonproliferation capability have typically employed organic scintillator\, and been situated as close to the core as possible – typically a few meters to tens of meters distant\, and have not exceeded a few tons in size. \nOne problem with this approach is that proximity to the reactor core  requires accommodation by the host facility. Water Cherenkov detectors located offsite\, at distances of a few kilometers or greater\, may facilitate non-intrusive monitoring and verification of reactor activities over a large area.  \nAs the standoff distance increases\, the detector target mass must scale accordingly.  This talk quantifies the degree to which a kiloton-scale gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov  detector can exclude the existence of undeclared reactors within a specified radial distance\, and remotely detect the presence of a hidden reactor in the presence of declared reactors\, by verifying the operational power and standoff distance.  \nA Feldman-Cousins based likelihood analysis was used to quantify the detector’s  ability to exclude the existence of undeclared reactors. A 1-kton scale Water Cherenkov detector can exclude gigawatt-scale nuclear reactors up to tens of kilometers. When attempting to identify the specific location of a reactor\, the detector response and analysis cannot delineate between the reactor power and baseline. \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/97530987599?pwd=SkJ5Zk15bjVuT2V1SHRtOG9sNGFIUT09\nMeeting ID: 975 3098 7599\nPasscode: 303821 \nAbstract: https://inpa.lbl.gov/event/virtual-inpa-seminar-tomi-akindele-llnl/ \n
