Neutron activation analysis of Tibetan traditional medicinal pills at the VR-1 training reactor

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2019
Abstract The nuclear analytical methods provide the research techniques usually used in hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, engineering and technology, or natural sciences and technology, but it is very rare to use them in social sciences and humanities. The Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague operates the VR-1 training reactor primarily

Manual control during reactivity transients at the VR-1 reactor – I. Disturbance rejection

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract The description of human operator dynamic characteristics in mathematical terms compatible with control engineering practice is an essential prerequisite to the analytical treatment of manual reactor control systems. Safe reactor operation requires effective operator control through interaction with plant dynamics, manipulators and displays.

Activation analysis of tibetan coins and thermal neutron flux measurement at the VR-1 training reactor

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2019
Abstract The VR-1 training reactor of Czech Technical University in Prague serves mostly to train students; however, owing to the presence of the experimental channels, it can be utilized for particular research tasks such as irradiation experiments, neutron radiography, and neutron activation analysis (NAA).

Effect of kinetics parameters on transients calculations in external source driven subcritical VR-1 reactor

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2019
Abstract Kinetics parameters are of high importance for reactor transient analyses. Similarly, they play an important role in many experimental reactor techniques, especially in techniques for determination of reactivity (such as Source Jerk, Rod Drop, or Source Multiplication method).

Deterministic and stochastic neutron cross-section generation for PARCS applied to VR-1 reactor

2016 17th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE), 2016
The VR-1 reactor operated by the Czech Technical University in Prague was utilized for a study of a macroscopic cross-sections homogenization performed by deterministic (SCALE 6.1.2 — Triton) and stochastic (Serpent 2.1.24) codes. These cross-sections are subsequently imported into a fixed source problem solved by the three-dimensional reactor core ...

Measurement of Spectrum-Averaged Cross Section of 23Na(n,2n) in VR-1 Reactor

Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science
Abstract Cross-section data are fundamental quantities that affect the accuracy of all calculations in nuclear applications. The 23Na(n,2n)22Na spectrum-averaged cross section (SACS) has an irreplaceable role due to its sensitivity in the very high energy region of prompt fission neutron spectrum (PFNS), but its measurement is ...
