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 neutron-induced nuclear reactions of 46,47,48,49,50,natTi are calculated and analyzed for the CENDL library. First, one set of optimized optical model potential parameters for n + 46,47,48,49,50,natTi below 20 MeV is obtained. Based on these parameters, the complete neutron data are computed though the UNF and DWUCK4 codes for each of the Ti isotopes and the natural nuclide. All of the theoretical results are compared with the experimental data, together with the updated evaluations of other evaluation libraries. In addition, we verify the new results through the benchmark integral measurements from OKTAVIAN.
