The design and characterization of a passive neutron measurement station for highly burnt fuel has been undertaken at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). The measurement station aims at the determination of the total neutron emission rate of full-length lig ...
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 ...
Total fission rate measurements have been performed on full-size boiling water reactor fuel assemblies of type SVEA-96 Optima2 in the framework of phase III of the light water reactor (LWR)PROTEUS experimental program at Paul Scherrer Institute. This paper ...
The present doctoral research aims at the appraisal of nodal core simulators used for the calculation of commercial boiling water reactor (BWR) cores, against measurements carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute under the LWR-PROTEUS experimental progra ...
Several metallic components of pressurized water reactors (PWR) used in nuclear power plants are exposed to the combined degradation by friction and corrosion (tribocorrosion). In PWR, corrosion arises from the water pressurized at 150 bars and maintained ...
Total fission rate measurements have been performed on full-size BWR fuel assemblies of type SVEA-96+ in the zero power reactor PROTEUS at the Paul Scherrer Institute. This paper presents comparisons of reconstructed 2D pin fission rates from nodal diffusi ...
This paper presents the development and application of a methodology to estimate, using conventional deterministic lattice/core analysis methods, the fast neutron fluence at the tips of control rods inserted during operation in PWR reactors. The developed ...
Computerised gamma-ray emission tomography has been applied to single PWR UO2 fuel rods, with pellet averaged burnups of 52, 71, 91 and 126 GWd/t respectively, for the determination of 134Cs, 137Cs and 154Eu internal radial distributions. State-of-the-art ...
Gas cooling in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has a long history, the corresponding reactor types developed in France, the UK and the US having been thermal neutron-spectrum systems using graphite as the moderator. The majority of NPPs worldwide, however, are ...
Advanced analytical techniques have been used to characterize nuclear materials at the Paul Scherrer Institute during the last decade. The analysed materials ranged from reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels, Zircaloy claddings to fuel samples. The processe ...
