An experiment more than 10 years in the making has delivered its first glimpse of the hurricane of particles whirring inside subatomic particles called neutrons, laying the groundwork to solve a ...
As the spallation neutron beam passes through the TRISO particle, some neutrons are absorbed by the uranium while most are scattered away. A neutron area detector collects the scattered neutrons, ...

In a first, US team unveils secrets of TRISO nuclear fuel using neutron beams
US scientists have gained a first-of-its-kind view inside advanced nuclear fuel by using neutron ...
A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...
