Famos III, burn-up measurement system suitable for la Hague acceptance criteria control [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2002 Fuel Assembly Monitoring System (FAMOS) was developed to set up a NDA method for the characterization of light water reactor fuel assemblies. The applied active/passive monitoring system made total characterization of fuel assemblies possible, without ...

Fluid Damping in Fuel Assemblies
Volume 4: Fluid-Structure Interaction, 2017 Damping is known to be a major parameter in the seismic design of nuclear facilities. Of special interest is the case of fuel assemblies in PWR plants, which, unlike other components, are submitted to axial flows: it has been known since the late 80s that their frequency response to lateral excitations was largely dependent on the flow velocity, and ...

Effect of bi-directional excitation input on boiling water reactor scrammability
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020 When a large earthquake occurs, a boiling water reactor is automatically shutdown through the insertion of control rods among fuel assemblies. A fuel assembly can vibrate in-plane when two seismic waves act on it in directions at right angles to each ...
