ABSTRACT The Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement between the United States and Russia makes arrangements for the disposal of 34 metric tons of excess weapon-grade plutonium. Under this agreement Russia plans to dispose of its excess stocks by processing the plutonium into fuel for fast breeder reactors. To meet the disposition requirements this fuel would be burned while the fast reactors are run as burners, i.e., without a natural uranium blanket that can be used to breed plutonium surrounding the core. This article discusses the potential application of antineutrino monitoring to the verification of the presence of a breeding blanket. It is found that a 36 kg antineutrino detector, exploiting coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and made of silicon could determine the presence of a breeding blanket at a liquid sodium cooled fast reactor at the 95 percent confidence level within 90 days.

使用反中微子检测繁殖毯

摘要 美国和俄罗斯之间的钚管理和处置协议为处置 34 公吨过剩的武器级钚做出了安排。根据该协议，俄罗斯计划通过将钚加工成快中子增殖反应堆的燃料来处置其过剩库存。为了满足处置要求，这种燃料将在快堆作为燃烧器运行时燃烧，即没有可用于在堆芯周围增殖钚的天然铀层。本文讨论了反中微子监测在验证繁殖毯存在方面的潜在应用。发现一个36公斤的反中微子探测器，
