SCALE AND SERPENT TWO-GROUP CROSS-SECTION DATA GENERATION

Uncertainty Analysis in Reactor Physics Modelling in the Framework of UAM-Benchmark using SERPENT and SCALE-6.2 for Transport Calculations and TSUNAMI and SAMPLER for Cross Section Perturbation

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand from nuclear safety research for best estimate predictions to be provided with their confidence bounds. Consequently, a deep knowledge on Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Models is needed. The present study, involved in the framework of international research of NEA-OECD, estimates confidence bounds of results of simulation and perform...

Extracting the dipole cross-section from photo- and electro-production total cross-section data

We report on a successful attempt to extract the cross-section for the high-energy scattering of colour dipoles of fixed transverse size off protons using electroproduction and photoproduction total crosssection data, subject to the constraint provided by the ratio of the overall photon dissociation cross-section to the total cross-section. 13.60.Hb, 25.20.Lj, 25.30.Rw, 13.38.-t, 24.85.+p, 12.4...

Nonlinear Regression On Cross-Section Data

Fuel and Target Fabrication and Cross-section Data

The paper compares the processes used at ITU for the fabrication of americium targets for transmutation: powder mixing process, sol-gel method and the infiltration by an active solution of inactive pellets. The advantages of the latter processes, related mainly to the lower level of dust formation, are stressed. Moreover, the radiological constraints on the fabrication as a function of Am conte...
