analysis study of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) behavior at steady-state performed by …

The paper presents the results and evaluations of a comprehensive set of neutron noise
measurements on the Delphi subcritical assembly of the Delft University of Technology. The …

Numerical simulations of fast MSRs constitute a challenging task. In fact, classical codes
employed in reactor physics cannot be used, and new dedicated multi-physics tools must be …

An exact formula for the joint probability of pair neutron detection for the Rossi-α method,
which is composed of the sum of a large number of higher harmonics, is verified in this study …

Different spatial modes can be defined for the neutron diffusion equation such as the λ, α
