Time stamped list mode data from gamma-ray spectroscopic measurements on 47 nuclear fuel assemblies performed at Clab, Sweden, September 2016 through March 2019.

Using a high-purity Germanium gamma-ray energy spectroscopic detector system, time-stamped list-mode data sets were acquired during axial scanning of 19 boiling water reactor (BWR) and 28 pressurized water reactor (PWR) type of nuclear fuel assemblies. The data sets were collected during two measurements campaigns in September 2016 and March 2019 at the Central Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear (Clab) in Sweden. A certified calibration source of ¹³⁷ Cs was positioned along the central line of sight between the measured fuel assembly and the detector. Data sets from measurements with only the calibration source and other background sources, i.e. without a nuclear fuel assembly present, are also included. The list-mode structure of the measured data allows for an axially-resolved as well as energy-spectral resolved intensity of nuclide-specific gamma lines emitted from the spent nuclear fuel. Data presented here can be used e.g. for validation of gamma-ray transport simulation tools or for development of methods to estimate parameters of the spent nuclear fuel based on data from gamma-ray spectroscopy.
