Simulations of the neutron flux fluctuations, known as neutron noise, can be performed by
means of the spherical harmonics equations (SP N) approximation with higher accuracy …

Mechanical vibrations of core internals are among the main perturbations that induce
oscillations in the neutron flux field, also known as neutron noise. In this work, different …

This work is a contribution towards the development of computational methods that allow
investigation and prediction of reactor noise response due to in-core perturbations such as …

In this paper we present the methodology developed to analyze the detector response of
neutron noise experiments performed at EPFL CROCUS and TUD AKR-2 reactors in the …

The mechanical vibrations of fuel assemblies have shown to give high levels of neutron
noise, triggering in some circumstances the necessity to operate nuclear reactors at a …

The mechanical vibrations of core internals such as fuel assemblies (FAs) cause oscillations
in the neutron flux that require in some circumstances nuclear power plants to operate at a …

The Horizon2020 European project CORTEX aims at developing an innovative core
monitoring technique that allows detecting anomalies in nuclear reactors, such as excessive …

We present the experimental campaigns–namely, three per facility–carried out between
2018 and 2021 in the AKR–2 and CROCUS zero power reactors within the framework of the …

We present a novel technique of neutron noise detection and experimental data
interpretation developed during the EU H2020 project CORTEX aiming to improve the …

The neutron noise equation contains a fixed source term where the neutron angular flux is
present. Deterministic noise solvers have tended to solve for and store this angular flux term …
