Abstract

International audience; As a prolongation of the FP-6 GUINEVERE (Generation of Uninterrupted Intense NEutron pulses at the lead VEnus REactor)project at the VENUS-F facility at SCK• CEN, the FP-7 FREYA (Fast Reactor Experiments for hYbrid Applications) project was launched in2011. The FREYA project aims at validating the methodology for subcriticality monitoring of a subcritical core as proposed in the MUSEexperiments conclusions. This is needed for the reactivity monitoring of a powerful ADS (Accelerator Driven System) like MYRRHA.Experiments are also needed for sub-critical and critical ADS and LFR (Lead Fast Reactor) core characterisation for benchmarking andlicensing purposes. Several levels of sub-criticality of the first subcritical core were measured applying the integral Source Jerk methodand compared to the reference results obtained with the MSM (Modified Source Multiplication) method.

Abstract

International audience; Experiments with a subcritical core and an external pulsed neutron source (PNS) have been performed at the VENUS-F reactor of theSCK-CEN during the year 2012 within the frame of the FREYA project of the 7th European Framework Programme. Different reactivity levels,obtained by varying the position of the control rods and the safety rods, have been investigated, with values of kef f ranging between 0.9and 0.96. The area-ratio and the prompt decay constant techniques are well-known techniques to determine the reactivity of the systemfrom the results of PNS experiments. However, both techniques are based on the point kinetics model and hence they are affected by thespatial and energy effects present in real systems, which will cause them to produce biased values of the reactivity. In this work, we applya methodology based on Monte Carlo simulations to assess the spatial and energy effects present in the VENUS-F core and to determinerelationships between the reactivity and the measured parameters (area-ratio and prompt decay constant) that take into account these effects and allow the application of the reactivity determination techniques to obtain accurate reactivity values beyond the limits of the point kinetics model. The results of the validation of this methodology against the experimental results obtained in the VENUS-F reactor will also be discussed.

Abstract

The study of fission yields has a major impact on the characterization and understanding of the fission process and is mandatory for reactor applications. While the yields are known for the major actinides (235U, 239Pu) in the thermal neutron-induced fission, only few measurements have been performed on 242Am. This paper presents the results of a measurement at the Lohengrin mass spectrometer (ILL, France) on the reaction 241Am(2nth,f): a total of 41 mass yields in the light and the heavy peaks have been measured and compared with the fission process simulation code GEF. Modus operandi and first results of a second experiment performed in May 2013 on the same reaction but with the goal of extracting the isotopic yields are presented as well: 8 mass yields were re-measured and 18 isotopic yields have been investigated and are being analyzed. Results concerning the kinetic energy and its comparison with the GEF Code are also presented in this paper.

Abstract

International audience; GUINEVERE and FREYA are European projects devoted to experimental studies ofaccelerator-driven system feasibility. They are mainly dedicated to on-line reactivitymonitoring, subcriticality determination and operational procedures. An experimentalreactor of SCK•CEN (Belgium) modified into a fast lead core, VENUS-F, is coupled to aversatile accelerator-driven neutron source developed by CNRS/IN2P3 (France) driving thereactor in different modes. A deuteron beam is provided by an electrostatic acceleratorwith a time structure driven solely by the ion source. The deuteron ions are accelerated(220 keV) onto a tritiated target located at the centre of the reactor core, creating neutronsby T(d,n) 4 He reactions. This paper describes the design and commissioning of the facilityand reports on the operation of the accelerator coupled to the reactor.

Abstract

Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS) could be employed to incinerate minor actinides and so partly contribute to answer the problem of nuclear waste management. An ADS consists of the coupling of a subcritical fast reactor to a particle accelerator via a heavy material spallation target. The on-line reactivity monitoring of such an ADS is a serious issue regarding its safety. In order to study the methodology of this monitoring, zero-power experimentswere undertaken at the GUINEVERE facility within the framework of the FP6-IP-EUROTRANS programme. Such experiments have been under completion within the FREYA FP7 project. The GUINEVERE facility is hosted at the SCK-CEN site in Mol (Belgium). It couples the VENUS-F subcritical fast core with the GENEPI-3C accelerator. The latter delivers a beam of deuterons, which are converted into 14-MeV neutrons via fusion reactions on a tritiated target. This paper presents one of the investigated methods for ADS on-line reactivity monitoring which has to be validated in the program of the FREYA project. It describes the results obtained when Pulsed Neutron Source experiments are analysed using the so called Area Method, in order to estimate the reactivity of a few sub-critical configurations of the VENUS-F reactor, around keff= 0.96. First the GUINEVERE facility is described. Then, following general considerations on the Area method, the results of its application to the neutron population time decrease spectra measured after a pulse by several fission chambers spread out over the whole reactor are discussed. Finally the reactivity values extracted are compared to the static reactivity values obtained using the Modified Source Multiplication (MSM) method., Comment: International Workshop on Technology and Components of Accelerator Driven Systems (TCADS) OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, Nantes : France (2013)

Abstract

We conducted calculations of exotic nuclei production rates for 320 configurations of EURISOL (European Isotope Separation On-Line Radioactive Ion Beam Facility) direct spallation targets. The nuclei yields were evaluated using neutron generation-transport codes, completed with evolution calculations to account for nuclei decays and low energy neutron interactions. The yields were optimized for 11 selected elements (Li, Be, Ne, Mg, Ar, Ni, Ga, Kr, Sn, Hg, Fr) and 23 of their isotopes, as function of the target compositions and geometries as well as the incident proton beam energies. For the considered elements, we evaluated the yield distributions as functions of the charge and mass numbers using two different spallation models.

Abstract

Proc. CD Series IAEA-13-CN-173 ISBN 9789201504104; International audience; EURISOL DS (Europe Isotope Separation On-Line Design Study) project is the European common effort in planning a next generation RIB factory able to deliver secondary beams up to 1013 pps at energies up to 150 MeV u-1. The proposed schematic layout of the facility is based on four target stations, three direct targets of 100 kW of beam power and one multi-MW target two stages assembly. Being produced via spallation the RIBs produced in the direct targets are mainly proton rich. While in the multi-MW target high intensity RIBs of neutron rich isotopes are produced by fission in actinide targets placed in the fast neutron spectrum given by a liquid metal spallation source. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the work carried out within Task 11 “Beam Intensity Calculations” with special emphasis to the estimation of the in-target yield intensities produced in the various target configurations. Benchmark studies were performed initially in order to verify the accurate description of the spallation models used by the MCNPX2.5.0 code and to choose the best options to be used for the present work requirements. The predictions of the code tested against measured data are presented. Several calculations using MCNPX2.5.0 combined with the evolution code CINDER'90 were carried out to assess the performance of the direct targets. A complex analysis was performed to study the in-target production RIB intensities varying with various parameters: target dimensions, materials and incident proton beam energies. The optimized configurations for the targets together with the corresponding quantitative estimates of the production rates for all interested nuclei resulted from this investigation are discussed.

Abstract

International audience; The GUINEVERE project is running since 2007 and is part of the EUROTRANS Integrated Project of the 6th EURATOM Framework Programme. It consists first in the construction of a lead fast ADS mock-up at SCK-CEN Mol (Belgium) for the purpose of ADS subcriticality monitoring experiments, and beyond in support to the design of a Transmutation Experimental Facility (MYRRHA/FASTEF). To do so the VENUS reactor (SCK-CEN) will be coupled with a new GENEPI neutron source under construction by CNRS (France). To accommodate this new source (a 250 keV deuteron accelerator) in a vertical coupling configuration, the VENUS building is being heightened. In parallel the reactor core is being modified to be loaded with fuel assemblies made of enriched Uranium and solid Lead moderator pins, and hold radial and axial Lead reflectors. A new safety and control rod system is also under development. The new GENEPI-3C neutron source is designed to be operated in pulsed mode but also in continuous mode to investigate the current-to-flux reactivity indicator in representative conditions of a powerful ADS. In this latter mode it will be also possible to make short beam interruptions at a fixed frequency to have access to the neutron population decrease as a function of time. The vertical beam line will have the distinctive feature to be retractile, allowing target changing or complete removal (for critical configuration for example). The accelerator will be first completely assembled at LPSC Grenoble for beam characterization before to be transferred in Mol. We will present in this paper the status of this experimental facility assembling, and foreseen experimental programmes in the framework of fast transmutation system studies.

Abstract

paper 9414; International audience; The GUINEVERE project is part of the EUROTRANS Integrated Project of the 6th EURATOM Framework Programme. It is mainly devoted to ADS on-line reactivity monitoring validation, sub-criticality determination and operational procedures (loading, start-up, shut-down, ...) as a follow-up of the MUSE experiments. The project consists in coupling a fast lead core, set-up in the VENUS reactor at SCK*CEN Mol (B), with a GENEPI neutron source under construction by CNRS. To accommodate the accelerator in a vertical coupling configuration, the VENUS building is being heightened. The fast core will be loaded with enriched Uranium and will be moderated and reflected with solid lead (zero power experiment). For the purpose of the experimental programme, the neutron source has to be operated not only in pulsed mode but also in continuous mode to investigate the current-to-flux reactivity indicator in representative conditions of a powerful ADS. In this latter mode it is also required to make short beam interruptions to have access to the neutron population decrease as a function of time: from this spectrum it will be possible to apply different analysis techniques such as "prompt decay" fitting techniques and "source jerk" techniques. Beam interruptions will be repeated at a programmable frequency to improve time spectra statistics. Different sub-criticality levels (keff=0.99, 0.97, 0.95, ...) will be investigated in order to obtain a full set of data points for the final overall validation of the methodology. This paper describes the status of the experimental facility assembling, and the foreseen experimental programme to be started.

Abstract

International audience; In the framework of the GUINEVERE (EUROTRANS-IP FP6) and FREYA (FP7) projects, a two-level procedure is developed to measurethe time variations of an ADS reactivity ρ(t). First, the time variations of the reactor power and neutron source intensity are monitored online,allowing to extract the fast fluctuations of ρ(t) around a reference value. Then, absolute measurements of ρ are periodically performed toreadjust the relative measurements. These calibration measurements require the analysis of the decay of the neutron population triggeredby programmed beam interruptions. In this paper, we describe an innovative method developed to measure the prompt multiplicationfactor, kp, of a subcritical reactor (and therefore its absolute ρ). Unlike conventional methods used for reactivity measurements, ourapproach only relies on the prompt decay of the neutron population, therefore enabling the use of shorter beam interruptions (< 50 μs) thanusual (~ 1 ms). After a review of the method’s mechanics, we apply it to measurements performed at the GUINEVERE facility, with theVENUS-F reactor, a zero power lead subcritical fast reactor. During these measurements, the neutron source was operated in pulsemode. Our results, promising, are compared with reference reactivity values provided by a MSM analysis.

Abstract

International audience; In order to incinerate minor actinides and thus to reduce the issues linked to nuclear waste management, Accelerator-Driven Systems(ADS) are being under study. An ADS consists in the coupling of a particle accelerator with a sub-critical fast reactor. The on-line reactivitymonitoring is a serious issue regarding safety, therefore several methods to estimate the reactivity of such sub-critical systems have tobe investigated. Here, we present one method based on the study of the neutron population evolution during beam interruption experimentscarried out in the framework of the FREYA FP7 program [1,2] at the GUINEVERE facility, which couples the fast lead sub-critical reactorVENUS-F with the deuteron accelerator GENEPI-3C at SCK-CEN in Mol, Belgium. After describing the facility, the analysis based on pointkinetics theory and preliminary results of the reactivity measurements will be presented. Then, spatial effects that are not taken into accountby point kinetics theory will be highlighted using MCNP simulations, and correction factors to raw results will be calculated. In the end, finalresults will be compared to reference reactivity values obtained with the Modified Source Multiplication (MSM) method.

Abstract

International audience; The GUINEVERE facility hosted at the SCK·CEN site in Mol (Belgium) couples the fast subcriticallead reactor VENUS-F with an external neutron source provided by interactions of deuteronsdelivered by the GENEPI-3C accelerator and a tritiated target located at the reactor core center.Part of the experimental program is devoted to the study of subcriticality monitoring techniques.It includes the analysis of Pulsed Neutron Source experiments using the so-called Area Methodtechnique which is based on Reactor Point Kinetics. Experimental results show that the extractedreactivity depends on the detector position inside the reactor. A time-dependent multigroup diffusionapproach using a simplified description of the VENUS-F reactor is developed to computecorrection factors which should allow one to overcome the shortcomings of the Area Method technique.Preliminary results are very promising since the application of the correction factors leadsto an overall reduction in the spread of the area ratio reactivity measurements.KEYWORDS: ADS, area method, multigroup diffusion equation, modal expansion.

Abstract

International audience; With Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS), the incineration of large quantities of minor actinides is envisaged by coupling a particleaccelerator to a subcritical core. Despite the subcritical operation of the core, a monitoring tool is indispensable in an ADS for both safetyand operational purposes. Several experimental techniques are under investigation today within the European FP7 project FREYA (FastReactor Experiments for hYbrid Applications) at the VENUS facility at SCK-CEN, where the lead fast zero-power VENUS-F core is coupledto the GENEPI-3C deuteron accelerator. The proposed monitoring concept combines an initial reactivity determination, e.g. by the pulsedneutron source technique, a long-term relative reactivity monitor, by the current-to-flux (CTF) technique, and an interim cross-checking,by the source jerk technique. In this paper the CTF technique is presented as a candidate for continuous reactivity monitoring. Staticmodal analysis is applied to evaluate the point kinetics relationship between accelerator source neutrons and the neutron flux. As a firsttest case, the zero-power VENUS-F SC1 core is considered. Spatial correction on the CTF monitor is evaluated by measurement results forthe control rods worth at different detector positions. Good agreement between the modal and experimental spatial correction factor (SCF) isfound with 9 modes. Limited SCF are found in the VENUS-F reflector, far away from the perturbation. Modal analysis is envisaged for themonitoring of burn-up in demonstrator ADS like MYRRHA.
