Piccolo Micromegas: first in-core measurements in a nuclear reactor
An Accelerator Driven System (ADS) consists in the coupling of an accelerator with a nuclear reactor. Such systems will need neutron detectors working in a wide energy range and insensitive to Xand γ-rays. Micromegas technology has been proposed to achieve this goal. The ability of Micromegas to detect neutrons over a wide energy range has already been demonstrated and this detector is, under c...
متن کاملComputing Atomic Density Changes of Material Composition in Operation of the Nuclear Reactor Core
The present work investigates an appropriate way to calculate the 1700 atomic density changes in the reactor operations. To automate this procedure, a computer program has been designed by C#. This program suggests a way to solve this problem which is based on the solution system of differential equations (Bitman) that it is designed according to Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The designed softwa...

متن کاملGenerating Unstructured Nuclear Reactor Core Meshes in Parallel
Recent advances in supercomputers and parallel solver techniques have enabled users to run large simulations problems using millions of processors. Techniques for multiphysics nuclear reactor core simulations are under active development in several countries. Most of these techniques require large unstructured meshes that can be hard to generate in a standalone desktop computers because of high...
متن کاملFirst Tests of a Micromegas TPC in a Magnetic Field
Since the summer of 2003, a large Micromegas TPC prototype (1000 channels, 50 cm drift, 50 cm diameter) has been operated in a 2T superconducting magnet at Saclay. A description of this apparatus and first results from cosmic ray tests are presented. Additionnal measurements using simpler detectors with a laser source, an X-ray gun and radio-active sources are discussed. Drift velocity and gain...
