Tokai Reactor Commissioning Test

Commissioning Status of the Decelerator Test Beam Line in Ctf3

The CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN was constructed by the CTF3 collaboration to study the feasibility of the concepts for a compact linear collider. The test beam line (TBL) recently added to the CTF3 machine was designed to study the CLIC decelerator beam dynamics and 12 GHz power production. The beam line consists of a FODO lattice with high precision BPM’s and quadrupoles on movers for pr...

The Palo Verde Reactor Neutrino ExperimentA Test for Long Baseline

Our collaboration has installed a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona. 12 tons of Gd loaded liquid scintillator, in a segmented detector, are used to search for e $ x oscillations at 740 m distance to three reactors. The anti-neutrino capture on the proton serves as detection reaction. The experiment is expected reach a sensitivi...

In - Pile Instrumentation Improvements for Fuel Irradiations in Test Reactor

Knowledge of fuel limits and safety margins in normal and off-normal transients in nuclear power plants remains a constant preoccupation for electricity producers and fuel manufacturers. Accurate determination of such limits, through fuel irradiation testing in the OSIRIS reactor at Saclay is closely linked to the reliability of appropriate instrumentation techniques. Two paths are currently fo...

Conceptual Design for a Fast Reactor Safety Test Facility

In May 1975 Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory issued a preliminai.. report on a study of Fast Reactor Safety Test Facilities. The study addressed itself to three closely related tasks. 1. A review of the current understanding of fast reactor safety with the aim of identifying important areas of uncertainty which cannot be adequately resolved using analysis, out of pile and/or existing in-pile fa...
