  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

Uranium-water power reactors have a complicated core composition, and temperature changes, the influence of which exceeds that of delayed neutrons several times, are important in the reactivity balance of such reactors. The accuracy with which the temperature effect of the reactivity can be predicted by calculation techniques depends greatly upon the extent to which these techniques correctly describe the physics of the development of the process and … the accuracy decreases considerably in proportion to the complexity of the core composition.

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

[En spectroscopie de luminescence], [...] expression utilisée pour désigner les variations des paramètres de luminescence causées par des variations de température; en effet, le type de solvant et sa température peuvent avoir un effet sur le rendement de luminescence d'une espèce à analyser en raison du phénomène de désactivation, de la formation d'exciplexes, d'une agrégation, etc.
