  • Publication number: 20240013943
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transport basket for defective spent nuclear fuel of a heavy water reactor and, more particularly, to a transport basket for defective spent nuclear fuel of a heavy water reactor that can reduce the burden of a personnel when handling spent nuclear fuel in a test facility by minimizing a storage space and maximizing a thickness such that only a predetermined amount of spent nuclear fuel for soundness evaluation in the test facility can be transported.

  • Publication number: 20230131974
    Abstract: A device for imaging radiation source in a decommissioning area of a nuclear power plant includes a detecting unit including a plurality of pixels for detecting an X-ray spectrum generated from a decommissioning area of a nuclear power plant, a processing unit connected to the detecting unit and configured to analyze the X-ray spectrum detected from the plurality of pixels and fuse a first element image displaying first pixels from which a first characteristic X-ray energy of a first element, among the plurality of pixels, is detected and a second element image displaying second pixels from which a second characteristic X-ray energy of a second element, among the plurality of pixels, is detected, into a fused image, and a display unit connected to the processing unit and configured to display the fused image corresponding to the decommissioning area.
