    PUBLISHED: Our new paper on very cool experiments and beautiful analysis methods in CEA zero power r

    Our new paper entitled article “Experimental estimation of the delayed neutron fraction βeff of the MAESTRO core in the MINERVE zero power reactor” has been published in the Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology. It is available at: http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/8MXgXmUDmiuPrfBZNzdZ/full The paper is about a new and very cool method to measure the delayed neutron fraction of a reactor core at zero power. The method was developed and tested during an experimental campa

    CEA-BGU scientific collaboration agreement signed

    A collaboration agreement on reactor core physics studies has been signed between the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives – CEA) and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The scientific collaboration focuses on feasibility analysis of representative configurations of core degradation situation during severe accidents in nuclear reactors, and includes a Ph.D research study conducted and financed
