Treatment of the implicit effect in Shark-X

Mathieu Hursin, Hakim Ferroukhi, Alexander Vasiliev

Shark-X is a set of Perl-based tools build around the deterministic neutron transport code CASMO-5, used to perform uncertainty quantification for lattice calculations at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). While perturbing an input parameter, e.g. a cross s ...

A mm(3) Fiber-Coupled Scintillator for In-Core Thermal Neutron Detection in CROCUS

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Fanny Vitullo, Jean-Baptiste Mosset

This article presents the development, full-characterization, and in-core testing of a miniature neutron detector for the investigation of highly localized in-core neutronics effects in the zero-power reactor CROCUS, operated at the Ecole Polytechnique fed ...

Statistical Burnup Distribution of Moving Pebbles in the High-Temperature Reactor HTR-PM

Andreas Pautz, Jiri Krepel, Fanny Vitullo, Horst-Michael Prasser

In the pebble-bed high-temperature reactor under construction in China, called the HTR-PM, the spherical fuel elements continuously flow downward in the cylindrical core. The burnup of each pebble is checked at the core outlet and, according to the achieve ...

Determination of the activity inventory and associated uncertainty quantification for the CROCUS zero power research reactor

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, DongHyuk Lee

The paper describes the source term estimation of CROCUS, the zero power research reactor of EPFL, to be used for dispersion analysis under accidental conditions. To fulfil regulatory requirements, the source term of the CROCUS fuel is estimated through Mo ...

Role of JETPEAK database in validation of synthetic neutron camera diagnostics and ASCOT- AFSI fast particle and fusion product calculation chain in JET

Henri Weisen

JETPEAK is a comprehensive stationary-state database and a work environment for JET diagnostics data, processed data and simulations suitable for a wide variety of analytical tasks. It enables systematic modelling and efficient interpretation of synthetic ...

Development and Application of Data Assimilation Methods in Reactor Physics

Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Simulations of nuclear reactor physics can disagree significantly from experimental evidence, even when the most accurate models are used. An important part of this bias from experiment is caused by nuclear data. The nuclear data have inherent uncertaintie ...

Radioactive boron beams produced by isotope online mass separation at CERN-ISOLDE

.We report on the development and characterization of the first radioactive boron beams produced by the isotope mass separation online (ISOL) technique at CERN-ISOLDE. Despite the long history of the ISOL technique which exploits thick targets, boron beams ...
