Scientists Detect Ghostly Afterglow of Nuclear Reactor for First Time
Scientists with the Double Chooz collaboration have directly measured the antineutrino emission from a shut-down nuclear reactor for the first time, according to research published in Physical Review Letters. Led by Anthony Onillon and Thierry Lasserre of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK), the study proves that detectors can monitor residual radioactivity in reactor cores and … Read more
