The Muse Experiments for Sub-critical Neutronics Validation and Proposal for a Computer Benchmark on Simulation of Masurca Critical and Sub-critical Experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
Accelerator driven systems (ADS) are being explored in France in the frame of the research programme on radioactive waste management options. Besides studies aimed to clarify the motivations for ADS, a significant programme has been started to validate experimentally the main physics principles of these systems. This experimental programme was initiated at CEA-Cadarache in 1995, with the sponsorship of EdF and Framatome. Since 1997, the CNRS has joined the programme, which is now a common CEA-CNRS-EdF-Framatome programme, open to external partners, in particular since October 2000 the European Community in the frame of the 5th FW Programme.

Muse - 4 Benchmark Calculations Using Mcnp - 4 C and Different Nuclear
Current calculation methods and nuclear data are well validated for conventional nuclear reactor systems. However there is a further need for validating the computational tools and the nuclear data for ADS applications. The OECD/NEA, in co-operation with CIEMAT (Spain) and CEA (France), therefore launched a benchmark based on the MUSE-4 experiments being carried out at Cadarache, France, to sim...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Salinity and Ionic Strength Effects on Critical Micelle Concentration of a Cationic Surfactant (HTAB)
The interfacial tension of surfactant solutions is decreased with increasing surfactant concentration to obtain the critical micelle concentration (CMC). After that, the CMC values does not alter much. So this concentration is a critical point during surfactant flooding that is one of the chemical EOR techniques. The reduction of the CMC value is taken into consideration, since the surfactant f...
متن کاملQuantitative Modeling for Prediction of Critical Temperature of Refrigerant Compounds
The quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) method is used to develop the correlation between structures of refrigerants (198 compounds) and their critical temperature. Molecular descriptors calculated from structure alone were used to represent molecular structures. A subset of the calculated descriptors selected using a genetic algorithm (GA) was used in the QSPR model development...
