Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have devised and tested a new, gamma-noise method for monitoring nuclear reactors non-invasively and from a distance. The new method was tested on EPFL's CROCUS nuclear reactor. It can improve nuclear safety and treaty compliance.
