Delayed gamma fraction determination in the zero power reactor CROCUS

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Tom Mager

Gamma rays are an inextricable part of a nuclear reactor's radiation field, and as such require characterization for dose rate estimations required for the radiation protection of personnel, material choices, and the design of nuclear facilities. Most comm ...

Core-Valence Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy of Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Tracing ultrafast processes induced by interaction of light with matter is often very challenging. In molecular systems, the initially created electronic coherence becomes damped by the slow nuclear rearrangement on a femtosecond timescale which makes real ...

Data assimilation of post irradiation examination experiments to adjust fission yields

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Nuclear data, especially fission yields, create uncertainties in the predicted concentrations of fission products in spent fuel. Herein, we present a new framework that extends data assimilation methods to burnup simulations by using data from post-irradia ...

Data assimilation of post-irradiation examination data for fission yields from GEF

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Dimitri Rochman, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Nuclear data, especially fission yields, create uncertainties in the predicted concentrations of fission products in spent fuel which can exceed engineering target accuracies. Herein, we present a new framework that extends data assimilation methods to bur ...

Artificial Neural Networks as Surrogate Models for Uncertainty Quantification and Data Assimilation in 2-D/3-D Fuel Performance Studies

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Alessandro Scolaro, Carlo Fiorina, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

This paper preliminarily investigates the use of data-driven surrogates for fuel performance codes. The objective is to develop fast-running models that can be used in the frame of uncertainty quantification and data assimilation studies. In particular, da ...

Radiation detection and energy conversion in nuclear reactor environments by hybrid photovoltaic perovskites

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Bálint Náfrádi, Endre Horvath, Márton Kollár, Pavao Roko Andricevic

Detection and direct power conversion of high energy and high intensity ionizing radiation could be a key element in next generation nuclear reactor safety systems and space-born devices. For example, the Fukushima catastrophe in 2011 could have been large ...

Nuclear data uncertainties for Swiss BWR spent nuclear fuel characteristics

Mathieu Hursin, Hakim Ferroukhi, Dimitri Rochman, Abdelhamid Dokhane

The effect of nuclear data (fission yields, cross sections and emitted spectra) is quantified for spent nuclear fuel assemblies from a realistic boiling water reactor operated over 25 cycles. Nominal calculations are performed with the CASMO5, SIMULATE-3 a ...

Crosstalk between Drp1 phosphorylation sites during mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic adaptation

Miriam Valera Alberni

Mitochondria are highly dynamics organelles that undergo coordinated cycles of fission and fusion, referred to as mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dynamics regulate mitochondrial bioenergetics and allow cells to adapt to changing cellular stresses and ...

Power calibration methodology at the CROCUS reactor

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Axel Guy Marie Laureau

In the present article, we detail the method used to experimentally determine the power of the CROCUS zero-power reactor, and to subsequently calibrate its ex-core monitor fission chambers. Knowledge of the reactor power is a mandatory quantity for a safe ...

Review of kinetic modulation experiments in low power nuclear reactors

Vincent Pierre Lamirand

The safety improvement of nuclear reactors requires continuous efforts in understanding the fundamental physical quantities related to the fission process. In neutronic models, the reactor dynamics is covered by the kinetic parameters to characterize the t ...

Experimental and numerical study of stochastic branching noise in nuclear reactors

Oskari Ville Pakari

Noise analysis applied to nuclear reactor physics is a powerful tool to investigate a reactor's kinetic parameters, and more generally underlying physical processes determining core behavior. The kinetic parameters are the coefficients of simplified time-d ...

Copper battery for heat to power conversion and energy storage

Sunny Isaïe Maye

An important part of the electricity production relies on heat conversion. Indeed power plants burn fuels like natural gas, coal or use nuclear fission to produce heat that can be transformed into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle and the mechanica ...
