During the last decade, use of inverse kinematics in experimental study fission is bringing a wealth new observables obtained single measurements, allowing their analysis and correlations. An ongoing application this technique basis series experiments performed with variable-mode, large-acceptance VAMOS++ spectrometer at GANIL. A recent experiment has been focused on survival nuclear structure ...

Measurements are presented of the photofission cross section and the mean number fi of neutrons per fission for 232Th made using bremsstrahlung from the Harwell electron linear accelerator HELIOS and a high efficiency neutron detector to record neutron multiplicity distributions. The cross section is interpreted in terms of a fission barrier with shallow wells in two separate outer barriers. In...

Pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuels is an electrochemical separation method where metallic fuel dissolved in a molten salt bath to allow uranium (U) and plutonium (Pu) be isolated from fission products (FPs) other impurities.

Neutronic analysis on the Molten Salt Reactor FUJI-12 using fissile material 235U in LiF-BeF2-UF4 has been carried out. The problem faced use of thorium-based fuel is that amount 233U small and not available nature. was produced through 232Th breeding at a cost $46 million/kg. That very high price when compared to enrichment, which only $100/kg. MSR used this study generation IV reactor with mi...

The phenomenology of quantum phase transitions concerns physics at low temperatures and energies, corresponding solid-state experiments often reach millikelvin temperatures. However, this is a scale where in many solids the influence nuclear spins their hyperfine interaction no longer negligible. This may limit observability electronic critical phenomena. Here we discuss how continuous magnetic...

A natural nuclear fission reactor with a power output of 3-to 10 Terawatt at the center of the earth has been proposed as the energy source of the earth’s magnetic field. The proposal can be directly tested by a massive liquid scintillation detector that can detect the signature spectrum of antineutrinos from the geo-reactor as well as the direction of the antineutrino source. Such detectors ar...

We examine the modelling of the effects of dissipation in fission by analysing experimental data where fission is induced by peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies. Our results are based on the analysis of available data of the total nuclear fission cross sections of U at 1⋅A GeV on Au and U targets with an abrasion-evaporation code that contains an intermediate break-up stage...

From nuclear materials accountability to detection of special nuclear material, SNM, the need for better modeling of fission has grown over the past decades. Current radiation transport codes compute average quantities with great accuracy and performance, but performance and averaging come at the price of limited interaction-by-interaction modeling. For fission applications, these codes often l...
