    On line neutron flux mapping in fuel coolant channels of a research reactor
    (IEEE, 2014-01-30) Barbot, L; Domergue, C; Villard, JF; Destouches, C; Braoudakis, G; Wassink, D; Sinclair, B; Osborn, JC; Wu, H; Blandin, C; Thévenin, M; Corre, G; Normand, S
    This work deals with the on-line neutron flux mapping of the OPAL research reactor. A specific irradiation device has been set up to investigate fuel coolant channels using subminiature fission chambers to get thermal neutron flux profiles. Experimental results are compared to first neutronic calculations and show good agreement (C/E ~0.97). © 2022 IEEE

    OPAL Reactor: calculation/experiment comparison of neutron flue mapping in fuel coolant channels
    (International Group On Research Reactors, 2013-10-13) Barbot, L; Domergue, C; Villard, JF; Destouches, C; Braoudakis, G; Wassink, D; Sinclair, B; Osborn, JC; Wu, H
    The measurement and calculation of the neutron flux mapping of the OPAL research reactor are presented. Following an investigation of fuel coolant channels using sub-miniature fission chambers to measure thermal neutron flux profiles, neutronic calculations were performed. Comparison between calculation and measurement shows very good agreement. © The Authors
