In 2014, a measurement campaign was made at CEA Cadarache using different versions of a high sensibility miniature fission chamber prototype with two fissile layers. The current project studies the possibilities of discrimination between signals coming fro ...
Thermally induced group effects characterise closely spaced energy piles. It has been observed experimentally that the behaviour of energy piles subjected to mechanical and thermal loads, in which the piles are located sufficiently close to each other, is ...
Reshaping plasmonic nanoparticles with laser pulses has been extensively researched as a tool for tuning their properties. However, in the absence of direct observations of the processes involved, important mechanistic details have remained elusive. Here, ...
The proposed prediction model for estimating the maximum rebound ratio was applied to a field explosion test, Mandai test in Singapore. The estimated possible maximum peak particle velocities(PPVs) were compared with the field records. Three of the four av ...
The PETALE experimental programme in the CROCUS reactor at EPFL intends to contribute to the validation and improvement of neutron nuclear data in the MeV energy range for stainless steel, particularly in the prospect of heavy reflector elements of pressur ...
A new calculational scheme has been developed for the accurate assessment of gamma heating in fast reactors, its special feature being the determination of the gamma source distribution that is formulated in a near-to-exact manner. The improved methodology ...
Cavitation erosion during the incubation period was investigated via pitting tests conducted on three different materials: an Aluminum alloy, a Nickel Aluminum Bronze alloy and a Duplex Stainless Steel. Pitting tests were conducted in a cavitation tunnel i ...
