Plutonium (Pu) spot sizes and concentrations in the pellets are significant parameters for safe use in the plants. We developed an automatic Pu detection system based on dense α-radiation tracks in the CR-39 detectors. This system would greatly improve image processing time and measurement accuracy, and will be a powerful tool for rapid pellet quality assurance screening.}, pages = {056103-1--056103-3}, title = {Application of CR-39 plastic nuclear track detectors for quality assurance of mixed oxide fuel pellets}, volume = {86}, year = {2015} }
