1. 1. Development of New Monte Carlo Methods in Reactor Physics : Criticality, Non-Linear Steady-State and Burnup Problems

   Författare :Jan Dufek; Jan Wallenius; Waclaw Gudowski; Cheikh Diop; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monte Carlo; reactor physics; fission source; inactive cycles; convergence; burnup; steady-state; criticality; eigenvalue; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik;

   Sammanfattning : The Monte Carlo method is, practically, the only approach capable of giving detail insight into complex neutron transport problems. In reactor physics, the method has been used mainly for determining the keff in criticality calculations. LÄS MER

3. 2. On measurement and monitoring of reactivity in subcritical reactor systems

   Författare :Carl Berglöf; Janne Wallenius; Vasily Arzhanov; Massimo Salvatores; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reactor; ADS; accelerator-driven systems; subcriticality determination; noise techniques; pulsed neutron source; reactivity monitoring; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik;

   Sammanfattning : Accelerator-driven systems have been proposed for incineration of transuranic elements from spent nuclear fuel. For safe operation of such facilities, a robust method for reactivity monitoring is required. Experience has shown that the performance of reactivity measurement methods in terms of accuracy and applicability is highly system dependent. LÄS MER

4. 3. Neutron Emission Spectrometry for Fusion Reactor Diagnosis : Method Development and Data Analysis

   Författare :Jacob Eriksson; Göran Ericsson; Carl Hellesen; Sean Conroy; Andreas Dinklage; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion; plasma diagnostics; neutron spectrometry; TOFOR; MPRu; tokamak; JET; fast ions; fuel ion density; relativistic kinematics; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

   Sammanfattning : It is possible to obtain information about various properties of the fuel ions deuterium (D) and tritium (T) in a fusion plasma by measuring the neutron emission from the plasma. Neutrons are produced in fusion reactions between the fuel ions, which means that the intensity and energy spectrum of the emitted neutrons are related to the densities and velocity distributions of these ions.
