Energy Fuels Enters into Agreement to Acquire Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) Borehole Logging Technology and Equipment; Securing Control over this Critical Technology for U.S. ISR Uranium Production ...

Typically, a neutron on its own would be bouncing around too fast to be trapped and measured. To solve that problem, neutrons are cooled down, which makes the particle slow down to about 18 mph.

Radioactive sealed sources or neutron generators, known as logging tools, are an integral part of the equipment used in well logging. Logging tools are lowered into a borehole, drilled into the ground ...

The neutron-scattering patterns produced by the device show how materials ranging from industrial alloys to drug molecules are structured at the molecular level - and how they hold up under ...

Two measurements of the radioactive half-life of free neutrons give results in disagreement with each other, and may point to new physics.

In 2021, LANL logged the most precise measurement yet of the neutron’s life span. A new apparatus aims to get it even more exact.
