It is essential that the highest standards of safety be achieved during all air weapons systems operations and that potentially hazardous situations be detected and rectified at the earliest possible stage. The first step in achieving this standard is through an effective and sound Air Weapons Safety Program, which is governed by the Director of Flight Safety(DFS). 2, record 1, English, - Air%20Weapons%20Safety%20Program

Continuité du flux homogène : si on souhaite conserver le courant à l’interface de deux mailles adjacentes et la forme de l’opérateur de calcul des courants (Fick-gross), alors il est inévitable qu’il faille relâcher la contrainte de continuité du flux homogène. Le lien entre le flux homogène et le flux hétérogène est introduit sous la forme de facteurs de discontinuité. À la place de la condition de continuité des flux homogènes, on a donc la condition de continuité des flux hétérogènes. Ces facteurs dépendent de la méthode d’évaluation des courants et des sections efficaces; ils permettent de prendre en compte l’homogénéisation de la région et de compenser les approximations numériques de la méthode d’intégration. 1, record 7, French, - %20facteur%20de%20discontinuit%C3%A9

Principe de l’équivalence nodale. Le problème de l’équivalence nodale a été formalisé comme suit : supposant connue une référence neutronique hétérogène (une solution de l’équation de Boltzmann) et supposant défini par ailleurs un maillage homogène, quel traitement faut-il faire subir à l’équation de la diffusion pour que la solution trouvée sur le modèle homogène soit cohérente avec la référence hétérogène? La notion de cohérence est ici fondamentale et reflète les grandeurs que l’on souhaite conserver en passant de la référence au modèle homogène.
