[EN] The early detection of anomalies through the analysis of the neutron noise recorded by in-core and ex-core instrumentation gives the possibility to take proper actions before such problems lead to safety concerns or ...
[EN] The mechanical vibrations of fuel assemblies have been shown to give rise to high levels of neutron noise, triggering in some circumstances the necessity to operate nuclear reactors at a reduced power level. This work ...
[EN] CORTEX is a EU H2020 project (2017-2021) devoted to the analysis of ¿reactor neutron noise¿ in nuclear reactors, i.e. the small fluctuations occurring around the stationary state due to external or internal disturbances ...
[EN] The mechanical vibrations of core internals such as fuel assemblies (FAs) cause oscillations in the neutron flux that require in some circumstances nuclear power plants to operate at a reduced power level. This work ...
[EN] Vibrations of fuel assemblies are an important issue in the safe operation of nuclear reactors, because they can challenge the integrity of the fuel with potential for radioactive releases. Reactor neutron noise-based ...
