Nuclear Forensics

Nuclear Forensics


This is an example of output from a Python program written to compare unknown nuclear fuel cells to known reactor types. You can see three reactor types BWR, RBMK, and VVER on the graph. Also an unknown sample and the reactor and enrichment (BWR, 5.5% Enrichment) that is closest to that unknown sample highlighted in red. The code can be seen here.

This shows the beginning of an Ipython notebook that is used to pull data from output from the ORIGEN code developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and convert it into a series of .csv's. There is another Ipython notebook that then combines all of the csv's into a summary .xlsx to be used for analysis. The code can be seen here.
