Abstract

Recent advances and applications in continuous Compton recoil gamma-ray spectrometry are described. Applications of continuous gamma-ray spectrometry are presented for: 1 1) Characterization of light water reactor (LWR) pressure vessel (PV) environments. 2 2) Assessment of fuel distributions for Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor recovery. 3 3) Measurement of LWR-PV-neutron exposure. The latest improvements attained with the Janus probe, a special in-situ configuration of Si(Li) detectors, are presented. The status of current efforts to extend the domain af applicability of this method beyond 3 MeV is discussed with emphasis on recent work carried out with Si (Li) detectors of much larger volume.
