Calibration of a Antineutrino Detector for the Monitoring of a CANDU Reactor
ORAL
Abstract
Detecting antineutrinos emitted from nuclear reactors has been previously demonstrated as a monitor of fuel content and usage. The continuous fuel cycle of a CANDU on-load reactor presents a unique challenge for monitoring. We present the calibration and characterization of a detector designed for this task. The detector will be deployed Fall 2012 at Point Lepreau Generating Station.
