摘要:

我们的合作已经在一个核电站设计、安装和操作了一个紧凑型反中微子探测器,用于监测反应堆堆芯的功率和钚含量。本文重点介绍了该探测器的基本特性和性能。我们描述的网站,反应堆源,和检测器,并提供数据,清楚地表明预期的反中微子信号。我们的数据和经验表明,有可能在反应堆附近操作一个简单的、相对较小的反中微子探测器,以非侵入和无人值守的方式,从反应堆安全壳外部一次操作数月至数年,而不会中断反应堆现场的日常操作。国际原子能机构(原子能机构)反应堆保障监督方案和类似制度可能对这种独特的实时合作监测能力感兴趣。

英文摘要:

Our collaboration has designed, installed, and operated a compact antineutrino detector at a nuclear power station, for the purpose of monitoring the power and plutonium content of the reactor core. This paper focuses on the basic properties and performance of the detector. We describe the site, the reactor source, and the detector, and provide data that clearly show the expected antineutrino signal. Our data and experience demonstrate that it is possible to operate a simple, relatively small, antineutrino detector near a reactor, in a non-intrusive and unattended mode for months to years at a time, from outside the reactor containment, with no disruption of day-to-day operations at the reactor site. This unique real-time cooperative monitoring capability may be of interest for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reactor safeguards program and similar regimes.
