Nu Tools: Exploring Practical Roles for Neutrinos in Nuclear Energy and Security
For decades, physicists have used neutrinos from nuclear reactors to advance basic science. Detection technology has reached the point where we can now ask whether observing neutrinos may also be useful for reactor operators, international inspectors, or nuclear treaty negotiators. The Nu Tools Forum welcomes a range of perspectives from the nuclear industry and nuclear security communities through direct engagement and online meetings to be conducted through the Spring and Summer of 2020. Discussion within the forum will directly shape an advisory report to the DOE/NNSA Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation R&D office. The Executive Committee is charged (pdf) by the office to conduct this study. The forum will focus on six areas:
