The alpha-neutron reaction, which occurs when alpha particles emitted from plutonium-238 interact with atoms of naturally occurring oxygen, results in a high neutron emission rate from plutonium oxide, and may cause a high neutron exposure to workers. To reduce this exposure, an oxygen exchange process would be used to replace the higher cross-section oxygen isotopes(oxygen-17 and oxygen-18) with oxygen-16, which has a very small cross section for the alpha-neutron reaction. 2, record 1, English, - alpha%2Dneutron%20reaction

Computational capability has been developed to calculate sensitivity coefficients of generalized responses with respect to cross-section data in the SCALE code system. The focus of this paper is the implementation of generalized perturbation theory(GPT) for one-dimensional and two-dimensional deterministic neutron transport calculations. GPT is briefly summarized for computing sensitivity coefficients for reaction rate ratio responses within the existing framework of the TSUNAMI sensitivity and uncertainty(S/U) analysis code package in SCALE. GPT provides the capability to analyze generalized responses related to reactor analysis, such as homogenized cross-sections, relative powers, and conversion ratios, as well as measured experimental parameters. 1, record 4, English, - generalized%20perturbation%20theory

The SCALE code system includes a sensitivity and uncertainty (S/U) analysis code package called TSUNAMI.

Méthode GPT. Au milieu des années 1960, Usachev, Lewins et Gandini généralisèrent la théorie des perturbations à toute sorte d’observable, paramètre physique pouvant être mesuré (et/ou calculé), qui peut être représenté sous la forme d’un rapport de quantités intégrales, linéaires du flux et/ou du flux adjoint. Pour reconstruire la valeur d’un observable d’un système multiplicateur dans des conditions perturbées, la théorie généralisée des perturbations […] fait appel à une fonction particulière, dite fonction importance généralisée, qui est la solution unique de l’équation du bilan adjointe du système à laquelle on ajoute un terme inhomogène, appelé source généralisée. Ce terme, qui est strictement orthogonal au mode fondamental, contient, au premier ordre, l’information sur la nature de la perturbation et son impact sur le flux. 1, record 4, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ralis%C3%A9e%20des%20perturbations

Les humidimètres neutroniques (ou sondes à neutrons) mesurent l'humidité volumique du sol en utilisant la propriété qu'ont les neutrons rapides à être ralentis préférentiellement par les atomes d'hydrogène, qui dans le sol sont majoritairement inclus dans les molécules d'eau. [...] La mesure consiste donc à compter pendant un temps déterminé (de l'ordre de la minute) le nombre de neutrons lents qui reviennent vers la sonde. Ce nombre est proportionnel à l'humidité volumique su sol. 2, record 12, French, - sonde%20%C3%A0%20neutrons

Fission chambers... [These] counters [are] designed for the detection of neutrons by their interaction with a solid fissile material... Neutrons cause fission of the fissile material and the high energy ionising products of that reaction result, usually, in the output of pulses from the chamber. These chambers are known as pulse fission chambers since the rate of pulse output is proportional to the rate of fission reactions and, therefore, to the neutron flux. 1, record 13, English, - pulse%20fission%20chamber

During normal, long-term operation, the exposure of the fuel to neutrons varies from place to place in the reactor. The fuelling engineer selects fuel replacement times and places to even out the availability of neutrons across the core. This is known as neutron flux flattening. The oldest fuel, which absorbs many neutrons uselessly, is left longer in areas of the core where the neutron flux tends to be high. Fresh fuel, which gives a higher rate of fission per neutron, is inserted into regions where the neutron flux is lower. 1, record 17, English, - neutron%20flux%20flattening

Combustible appauvri et aplanissement du flux neutronique. [...] En cours de fonctionnement normal, sur une longue période, l'exposition du combustible aux neutrons varie d'un endroit à l'autre du réacteur. Pour égaliser la disponibilité des neutrons dans le coeur, l'ingénieur responsable de son alimentation choisit le moment où l'on remplacera des grappes et dans quel emplacement les insérera-t-on. Ce travail s'appelle l'aplanissement du flux. Parce que le combustible plus vieux absorbe inutilement un grand nombre de neutrons, on le laisse plus longtemps dans les régions du coeur où le flux de neutron est spontanément plus élevé. On insère le combustible frais, dont le nombre de fissions par neutron est plus élevé, dans les régions où le flux de neutron est moins élevé. 1, record 17, French, - aplanissement%20du%20flux%20neutronique
