NEUTRON EMISSION MEASUREMENTS OF PWR SPENT FUEL SEGMENTS AND PRELIMINARY VALIDATION OF DEPLETION CALCULATIONS [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 Assessing neutron emission of LWR spent fuel is necessary for the back-end of the fuel cycle, such as the dimensioning of transport and storage casks of spent fuel.

In search of the best nuclear data file for proton induced reactions: Varying both models and their parameters [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 A lot of research work has been carried out in fine tuning model parameters to reproduce experimental data for neutron induced reactions. This however is not the case for proton induced reactions where large deviations still exist between model ...

Assessment of representativity of the PETALE experiments for validation of Swiss LWRs ex-core dosimetry calculations [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 The international experimental program PETALE will be carried out at the CROCUS research reactor of EPFL. The program aims at measuring neutron penetration in slabs made of materials composing typical LWR reactor pressure vessel. The measurements will be

NEUTRON NOISE SPECTRAL FEATURES OF SIMULATED MECHANICAL AND THERMAL-HYDRAULIC PERTURBATIONS IN A PWR CORE [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 KWU-PWR reactors (SIEMENS design) are commonly exhibiting high neutron noise levels that can lead to costly operational issues. Recent analysis seems to indicate that, coolant flow, temperature oscillations, and mechanical vibrations have a key impact on
