In order to meet the steadily increasing worldwide energy demand, nuclear power is expected to continue playing a key role in electricity production. Currently, the large majority of nuclear power plants are operated with thermal-neutron spectra and need r ...
The Supercritical-Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is the Generation IV reactor concept most closely related to current light water reactors (LWRs). The SCWR builds on the vast experience with today's LWRs and supercritical coal-fired power plants. Water at sup ...
Miniature fission chambers are suited tools for instrumenting experimental reactors, allowing online and in-core neutron measurements of quantities such as fission rates or reactor power. A new set of such detectors was produced by CEA to be used during th ...
The findings of the EU 'Materials Assessment Group' (MAG), within the 2012 EU Fusion Roadmap exercise, are discussed. MAG analysed the technological readiness of structural, plasma facing and high heat flux materials for a DEMO concept to be constructed in ...
The findings of the EU Fusion Programme's 'Materials Assessment Group' (MAG), assessing readiness of Structural, Plasma Facing (PF) and High Heat Flux (HHF) materials for DEMO, are discussed. These are incorporated into the EU Fusion Power Roadmap [1] , wi ...
The paper describes the testing of the NEUTON detection system into CROCUS, the zero-power reactor of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). NEUTON is composed of a 4mm×4 mm sCVD diamond detector with a 6Li converter and the associated acquis ...
The aim of this study is to characterize the activation of the crocus cavity. For this purpose, the concrete plug of the irradiation channel crossing the cavity shielding was used to measure the activation by gamma spectrometry. In a first time measurement ...
The phonon dispersion curves of ultrathin films of Cs(110) on Pt(111) measured with inelastic helium atom scattering (HAS) are reported and compared with density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT) calculations. The combined HAS and DFPT analysis also sh ...
CEA develops and makes use of miniature fission chambers (MFCs, with radius down to 1.5 mm) for reactor physics conducted in experimental reactors such as EOLE and MINERVE zero power reactors (CEA Cadarache). When measuring fission rate, it is known that t ...
The semester project was under the course Physics lab IVb at EPFL. At EPFL site, the experimental fission reactor CROCUS is shielded by concrete which becomes radioactive as a result of neutron interaction. The activation is of interest to study for valida ...
