چکیده
Neutron detection is a relevant topic in the field of nuclear instrumentation. It at heart concerns for fusion applications (neutron diagnostics, measurements inside Test Blanket Modules TBM) as well fission (in-core and ex-core monitoring, neutron mapping or safety research reactors). Moreover, due to even more harsh conditions future experimental reactors such Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) International Thermonuclear Experimental (ITER), detectors need be adapted high γ fluxes, heating rates temperatures. Consequently, radiation temperature hardened sensors with fast response, energy resolution stability mixed environment are required. All these requirements make wide-bandgap semiconductors and, precisely, Silicon Carbide (SiC) serious candidates their intrinsic characteristics extreme environments. Thus, since last decades, SiC-based developed studied various facilities. In this paper, detector 3-D designed through thermal radiation-matter interaction numerical simulations irradiation campaign Jožef Stefan Institute TRIGA Mark II reactor Slovenia. Firstly, paper presents scientific background issues our detectors. second part geometry shown. Thereafter, simulation results reported. Finally, radiation/matter presented.

The present work gives a methodology for assessing radiological concentration of I, I, I, I, and I due to a hypothetical accident of TRIGA Mark-II research Reactor at AERE, Savar, Bangladesh. The concentrations were estimated through different pathways like ingestion of vegetation, milk, and meat from air and ground deposition. The maximum air concentrations for all 16 directions were found at ...
متن کاملPresent Services at the Triga Mark Ii Reactor of the Jsi
The 250 kW TRIGA Mark II research reactor of the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) has been in operation since 1966. The reactor went critical on 30 May 1966. It is a light water reactor, with solid fuel elements in which the zirconium hydride moderator is homogeneously distributed between enriched uranium. The reactor core consists of about 70 fuel elements, which are arranged in an annular lattice...

This paper presents an algorithm for numerical simulations of nonsteady states of the TRIGA MARK II reactor in Vienna, Austria. The primary focus of this work has been the development of an algorithm which provides time series of integral neutron flux after reactivity changes introduced by perturbations without the usage of thermal-hydraulic / neutronic numerical code systems for the TRIGA reac...
متن کاملAccident scenarios of the TRIGA Mark II reactor in Vienna
The safety report of the TRIGAMark II reactor in Vienna includes three accident scenarios and their deterministic dose consequences to the environment. The destruction of the cladding of the most activated fuel element, the destruction of all fuel elements and a plane crash were considered scenarios in that report. The calculations were made in 1978 with the software program named STRISK. In th...
