Criticality safety of fuel assemblies with missing fuel rods

open access: yesAnnals of Nuclear Energy
International audience ; The present work is concerned with the problem of determining the reactivity of an assembly from which an unknown number of fuel pins are removed at random locations. Because it is usually designed to be under-moderated, the reactivity of an incomplete assembly will pass by an optimum when the number and position of the missing
