Modeling the response of a diamond detector in the zero power reactor CROCUS

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Pavel Frajtag

The present manuscript documents the development of a practical calculation scheme to model the response of a diamond detector in the mixed (neutron and gamma) radiation field of the CROCUS experimental reactor at EPFL. The model is shown to perform reason ...

Dosimetry modeling and experimental validation for the PETALE program in the CROCUS reactor

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

The PETALE experimental program in the CROCUS reactor intends to provide integral measurements on reactivity worth and dosimetry measurement to constrain nuclear data relative to stainless steel heavy reflectors. The experimental setup consists in eight su ...

APT/TEM characterization of the element segregation in ferritic/martensitic steels after irradiation in SINQ

Lijuan Cui

Ferritic /martensitic (FM) steels are among the most important materials in various nuclear applications. As radiation-induced segregation (RIS) is one of the major factors for embrittlement of nuclear materials, thereofre it is essential to study the RIS ...

Development of a Novel Finite Volume Methodology for Multi-Dimensional Fuel Performance Applications

Alessandro Scolaro

Fuel performance codes are an essential tool for ensuring the safe and economic opera-tion of nuclear reactors. Traditionally, these codes have been developed following a simple 1.5-D modelling approach, where the fuel behavior is simplified by assuming ax ...

Design of the third-generation neutron spallation target for the CERN's n_TOF facility

Raffaele Esposito

The neutron Time-Of-Flight (n_TOF) facility at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) is a pulsed white-spectrum neutron spallation source producing neutrons for two experimental areas: EAR1, located 185 m downstream of the spallation target, ...

SCALE/AMPX multigroup libraries for sodium-cooled fast reactor systems

Andreas Pautz, Friederike Bostelmann

New multigroup cross section libraries and associated covariance files that are optimized for the analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactors were generated with the AMPX tools distributed with the SCALE code system. These new libraries account for the fast ne ...

Synergistic ICRH and NBI Heating for Fast Ion Generation and Maximising Fusion Rate in Mixed Plasmas at JET

Henri Weisen

The studies of recent JET experiments in H/D approximate to 0.85/0.15 plasma (2.9T/2MA) in which neutron rate was enhanced by applying 2.5MW of ICRH using D-(D-NBI)-H three-ion scheme are reported. An extensive analysis of this novel heating scenario has b ...

Plasma heating and generation of energetic D ions with the 3-ion ICRF + NBI scenario in mixed H-D plasmas at JET-ILW

Henri Weisen, Javier García Hernández

Dedicated experiments were conducted in mixed H-D plasmas in JET to demonstrate the efficiency of the 3-ion ICRF scenario for plasma heating, relying on injected fast NBI ions as the resonant ion component. Strong core localization of the RF power depositi ...
