ARG-US Remote Monitoring Systems: Use Cases and Applications in Nuclear Facilities and During Transportation
As highlighted in the Spring 2024 issue of Radwaste Solutions, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are developing and deploying ARG-US—meaning “Watchful Guardian”—remote monitoring systems technologies to enhance the safety, security, and safeguards (3S) of packages of nuclear and other radioactive material during storage, transportation, and disposal.

The 234U(n,f) cross section has been measured in the energy range from 0.5 eV to 100 keV at the GELINA neutron time-of-flight facility of the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements in Geel using highly enriched 234U samples. Two independent measurements were performed: one in a low detection geometry (15% of 2) and another in a 2 detection geometry. A 235U(n,f) cross-section measurement was performed under the same experimental conditions, allowing a reliable correction for the 235U(n,f) contribution to the yield. Special attention has been given to the strongest resonance at 5.16 eV and to the fission resonance integral If, for which large discrepancies are reported in the literature.
