In the context of the LWR-PROTEUS program, radial and azimuthal 235U fission (F5) and 238U capture (C8) rate distributions have been calculated for zero-burnup pins of a Westinghouse SVEA-96 Optima2 boiling water reactor fuel assembly using the stochastic ...
Fuel rods with burnup values beyond 50GWd/t are characterised by relatively large amounts of fission products and a high abundance of major and minor actinides. Of particular interest is the change in the reactivity of the fuel as a function of burnup and ...
The reaction-rate ratio C8/Ftot, neutron captures in 238U to total fissions, has been measured in 80 out of 96 fuel rods of a Westinghouse SVEA-96+ boiling water reactor fuel assembly. High-resolution gamma spectroscopy was performed on individual fuel rod ...
High-resolution gamma spectroscopy was performed on individual fuel rods of a fresh, highly heterogeneous Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel assembly, after irradiation at low power in the PROTEUS reactor at PSI, to determine the ratio of neutron captures in ...
Detailed energy spectra have been calculated with the codes CASMO-4 and BOXER for neutron reaction rates in individual regions of a Westinghouse SVEA-96+ BWR fuel assembly immersed in water at room temperature, as investigated in Core 1A of the LWR-PROTEUS ...
Although the supercritical-pressure or high-performance light water reactor (HPLWR) concept is largely based on the well-established technological experience available with conventional light water reactors, there is still no consensus on various key desig ...
Different foil activation techniques have been used for measuring spatial distributions of the 63Cu(n,)64Cu reaction within two pins of a SVEA-96 Optima2 boiling water reactor fuel assembly, at the critical facility PROTEUS. This reaction is of interest be ...
Effects of channel bowing on the pin power and 238U capture rate distributions have been studied experimentally and analytically in a test zone consisting of 9 full-size Westinghouse Atom SVEA-96+ fuel assemblies in the PRO-TEUS critical facility. A very s ...
A measurement station has been built for the non-destructive investigation of burnt fuel rod segments through high-resolution gamma spectrometry. Four UO2 pressurised water reactor fuel rod segments with different burnup levels between 50 and 100GWd/t and ...
An important source of uncertainty in boiling water reactor physics is associated with the precise characterisation of the moderation properties of the coolant and by-pass regions, with significant impact on reactor physics parameters such as the lattice n ...
