Descoperire fără precedent: „fantoma” unui reactor nuclear oprit, detectată pentru prima dată

Researchers have detected the 'ghost' of a shut-down nuclear reactor by measuring the weak emission of antineutrinos. This discovery could enhance reactor monitoring and nuclear safety. Even after a reactor is turned off, radioactive fission products continue to decay, emitting antineutrinos. The Double Chooz detector in France recorded these emissions, confirming predictions about antineutrino emissions from shut-down reactors. This breakthrough opens new avenues for nuclear fuel verification and safety measures.
