Neutronic Analysis of Start-Up Tests at China Experimental Fast Reactor

Monte Carlo Neutronic Analysis of A Loosely Coupled Reactor*

Dynamic start-up optimization of a plate reactor with uncertainties

In this paper, start-up of a plate reactor with an exothermic reaction is considered. Dynamic optimization is used to obtain start-up trajectories, while a feedback control system is designed for on-line control. The problem is challenging, since the process model is highly non-linear, and subject to uncertainty. Limited bandwidth of the feedback control system requires that the optimization gi...

Neutronic analysis for the fission Mo-99 production by irradiation of a LEU target at RECH-1 reactor

For the purpose of developing the capability to produce fission Mo, the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission is participating in the IAEA Coordinated Research Project: “Developing Techniques for Small Scale Indigenous Mo-99 Production using LEU Fission or Neutron Activation”. Fission Mo will be produced irradiating, at RECH-1 reactor, a target made of a LEU metallic uranium foil held between two c...

Sequence type analysis and recombinational tests (START)

UNLABELLED The 32-bit Windows application START is implemented using Visual Basic and C(++) and performs analyses to aid in the investigation of bacterial population structure using multilocus sequence data. These analyses include data summary, lineage assignment, and tests for recombination and selection. AVAILABILITY START is available at http://outbreak.ceid.ox.ac.uk/software.htm. CONTAC...

Some binary start-up demonstration tests and associated inferential methods

During the past few decades, substantial research has been carried out on start-up demonstration tests. In this paper, we study the class of binary start-up demonstration tests under a general framework. Assuming that the outcomes of the start-up tests are described by a sequence of exchangeable random variables, we develop a general form for the exact waiting time distribution associated with ...
