Sensitivity And Uncertainty Analysis Of A Fixed Source Criticality Accident Alarm System Benchmark Experiment, Kevin Howard Reynolds
Doctoral Dissertations
The Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) funded the development of a criticality accident alarm system (CAAS) benchmark to be published by the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) in the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments (handbook). While there are shielding related benchmark evaluations published in the handbook, the effort in this dissertation concerns a first of its kind experiment that has been conceived from the ground up as a pulsed critical fixed source benchmark.
The experiment was designed in conjunction with the French government and conducted at their SILENE reactor facility at …
