Abstract The SERPENT Monte Carlo code has the unique capability to simulate neutron and
gamma transport using a stereolithography (STL) geometry. The STL geometry can model …

The designed MYRRHA reactor, in its subcritical version, will be equipped with a set of
detectors monitoring its condition by measuring the current value of negative reactivity …

This study illustrates recent computational advances in the application of the Sjöstrand
(area), Rossi, and Feynman methods to estimate the effective multiplication factor of a …

This study introduces a new correction factor to obtain the experimental effective
multiplication factor of subcritical assemblies by the point kinetics formulation. The correction …

Abstract This study compares Monte Carlo and deterministic neutronics analyses of the zero-
power YALINA Thermal subcritical assembly, which is located in Minsk, Belarus. The …

The reactivity measurement in a subcritical assembly using the area ratio method is affected
by the detector location and needs to be corrected for spatial dependence. One of the …

This report describes different methodologies to calculate the effective neutron multiplication
factor of subcritical assemblies by processing the neutron detector signals using MATLAB …

This study examines dead-time corrections for the neutron detectors of the Kyoto University
Critical Assembly (KUCA) driven by a stationary or pulsed external neutron sources. For the …

This study presents a novel methodology to calculate the prompt neutron decay constant of
a subcritical assembly from the cross and auto power spectral densities of detectors …

Particle detectors operated in pulse mode are subjected to the dead-time effect. When the
average of the detector counts is constant over time, correcting for the dead-time effect is …
