Antineutrinos spotted from spent nuclear fuel for first time after reactor shutdown
SMRTR summary
Scientists at Germany's Max Planck Institute detected antineutrinos from spent nuclear fuel after a reactor shutdown for the first time, using France's Double Chooz detector. Recording about 100 events over 17 days, this breakthrough could enable independent verification of reactor status and spent fuel monitoring without traditional inspections.
