Short summary
Spent nuclear fuel from nuclear power plants requires long-term safeguarding during interim storage and final disposal. Current safeguards combine accountancy, containment, and monitoring. As spent nuclear fuel emits antineutrinos due to radioactive beta decay, the detection of these antineutrino emissions has the potential to provide complementary information. This study compares several antineutrino detection technologies to evaluate their suitability for safeguarding spent nuclear fuel.
