The FMS [flux mapping system] having the movable detectors is equipped with detector cable drive units and path selectors located inside the reactor containment vessel.

CONT

An innovative in-core flux mapping system has been developed and applied successfully for service in commercial pressurized water reactors. With the benefit of double indexing path selector mechanism, the reliability of the detector drive system has been improved five times higher than that of a conventional system.

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments

OBS

Each measurement channel has, inside the nuclear reactor core, an instrumentation tube of a fuel assembly and a thimble placed inside the instrumentation tube, in which the fission probe moves around. Neutron flux measurements are carried out in a set of fuel assemblies distributed throughout the core cross section.

CONT

Les détecteurs mobiles sont du type chambres à fission. Ce type de capteur neutronique est une chambre d'ionisation classique et utilise comme matière sensible aux neutrons, l'uranium. Celui-ci, enrichi à 90 % en uranium 235, est déposé sous forme d'une couche d'oxyde. Chaque détecteur [...] est constitué d'une électrode centrale (anode), d'une deuxième électrode (cathode) qui détermine le volume de mesure, et d'une enveloppe de protection externe. Le gaz de remplissage est l'argon.

  • Mineralogy
CONT

X-ray powder diffraction is used in the identification of crystalline phases in unknown samples, finding the lattice parameter and other lattice related information, quantitative determination of phases in multiphase samples, finding the orientation in single crystals, and stereographic projections. The samples must be crystalline solids such as metals, ceramics, rocks etc. These samples are usually about 1 mg in size. If the sample fits in the sample holder then there is no preparation necessary otherwise the sample may have to be crushed in order to fit. The sample takes less than one hour to be analyzed for qualitative analysis in major phases and up to 16 hours for trace phases. The quantitative analysis can take several minutes to several hours after set up. There are several detectors used in XRPD varying from films to cameras to diffractometers.

CONT

Powder X-Ray Diffraction. Powders of crystalline materials diffract X-Rays. A beam of X-rays passing through a sample of randomly-oriented micro-crystals produces a pattern of rings on a distant screen. Powder X-Ray diffraction provides less information than single-crystal diffraction, however, it is much simpler and faster. Powder X-Ray diffraction is useful for confirming the identity of a solid material and determining crystallinity and phase purity. Modern powder X-Ray diffractometers consist of an X-Ray source, a movable sample platform, an X-Ray detector, and associated computer-controlled electronics. The sample is either packed into a shallow cup-shaped holder or deposited as a slurry onto a quartz substrate, and the sample holder spins slowly during the experiment to reduce sample heating. The X-Ray source is usually the same as used in single-crystal diffractometers, Mo or Cu. The X-Ray beam is fixed and the sample platform rotates with respect to the beam by an angle theta. The detector rotates at twice the rate of the sample and is at an angle of 2 theta with respect to the incoming X-Ray beam.

CONT

Fine particles such as clays must be separated from larger particles and measured separately if they are to be detected properly. To reduce errors associated with preferred orientation of minerals, samples are most commonly ground to a powder before analysis, a technique known as powder X-ray diffraction.

CONT

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a direct method for qualitative and quantitative characterization of fine-grained materials such as clinker and cement, and may also be used for analysis of raw materials. Each phase produces a unique diffraction pattern independent of others, with the intensity of each pattern proportional to that phases concentration in a mixture.
