Atomic level insight into irradiation effects in nuclear fuel materials
Microstructural evolution during in-pile irradiation, radiation damage effects and fission products behavior in UO2 nuclear fuel are key issues in understanding and for the modeling of the performance as well as safety characteristics of nuclear fuels in t ...
EPFL2024Gamma-ray Spectroscopy in Low-Power Nuclear Research Reactors
Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari
Gamma-ray spectroscopy is an effective technique for radioactive material characterization, routine inventory verification, nuclear safeguards, health physics, and source search scenarios. Gamma-ray spectrometers typically cannot be operated in the immedia ...
MDPI2024A concept for the extraction of the most refractory elements at CERN-ISOLDE as carbonyl complex ions
We introduce a novel thick-target concept tailored to the extraction of refractory 4d and 5d transition metal radionuclides of molybdenum, technetium, ruthenium and tungsten for radioactive ion beam production. Despite the more than 60-year old history of ...
2022Interface Tracking Investigation of the Sliding Bubbles Effects on Heat Transfer in the Laminar Regime
Konstantin Mikityuk, Lubomír Bures
Helium gases are utilized to remove fission products from the molten salt fast reactor (MSFR) core during operation. Helium gases and other volatile fission products may be introduced into the intermediate heat exchanger channels. The effect of these gases ...
2021Towards the Validation of Noise Experiments in the CROCUS Reactor Using the TRIPOLI-4 Monte Carlo Code in Analog Mode
Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari
Intrinsic neutron noise experiments offer a non-invasive manner to measure the prompt decay constant or reactivity of fissile systems. Using the fluctuations in the density of fission chains, one can infer the kinetics parameters via correlation analysis s ...
2021Data assimilation of post irradiation examination experiments to adjust fission yields
Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Daniel Jerôme Siefman
Nuclear data, especially fission yields, create uncertainties in the predicted concentrations of fission products in spent fuel. Herein, we present a new framework that extends data assimilation methods to burnup simulations by using data from post-irradia ...
E D P SCIENCES2020Data assimilation of post-irradiation examination data for fission yields from GEF
Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Dimitri Rochman, Daniel Jerôme Siefman
Nuclear data, especially fission yields, create uncertainties in the predicted concentrations of fission products in spent fuel which can exceed engineering target accuracies. Herein, we present a new framework that extends data assimilation methods to bur ...
