In response to the need for validating high-fidelity deterministic neutronics solvers capable of providing pin-resolved neutron flux distributions, intra-pin reaction rates measurements were performed in the CROCUS experimental reactor. A specially designe ...

In response to the need for validating high-fidelity deterministic neutronics solvers capable of pin-resolved neutron flux distributions, an instrumented fuel rod was designed for the experimental reactor CROCUS, operated by EPFL’s Laboratory for Reactor P ...

The advancement of high-fidelity nuclear reactor simulation methods is essential for reducing conservatism in safety margins and optimizing reactor design and operation. This work evaluates the predictive capabilities of the deterministic solvers GeN-Foam ...

Efforts are underway worldwide to develop advanced simulation methods of nuclear power plants, with an improved resolution in space, angle and energy. These tools aim to enhance operational efficiency through the predictions of local phenomena critical for ...

Measurements of scalar flux distributions with fine spatial and energy resolutions are needed to remedy one of the validation shortcomings of the novel neutronics full core solvers, such as MPACT and nTRACER. While a very detailed resolution of the flux ca ...

Since 2013, the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Thermal-Hydraulics at the PSI and the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour at the EPFL are working towards the development of a multi-physics platform for coupled reactor analysis based on ...

Autonomous nuclear reactor monitoring is a key aspect of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s strategy to ensure nonproliferation treaty compliance. From the rise of small modular reactor technology, decentralized nuclear reactor fleets may strain the ...

In response to the scarcity of validation benchmarks for high-fidelity neutronics solvers predicting pin-resolved neutron flux distributions, the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour (LRS) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausan ...
