A method to reset a 3d on line core model on incore measurements

TLDR
A method to reset the core neutronic model in order the computed flux be in agreement with the detectors response, based on an equivalence procedure which permits to determine a reset parameter, called pseudo buckling, acting on the data of the model.
Abstract
Core monitoring systems based on online 3D calculations need algorithms to permit to compensate the inaccuracies in the neutronic model and in the process and incore detectors signals. It is presented here a method to reset the core neutronic model in order the computed flux be in agreement with the detectors response. The method is based on an equivalence procedure which permits to determine a reset parameter, called pseudo buckling, acting on the data of the model. It will be then presented some results showing the performance of the method.

A Data Identification Method for the Improvement of a Cross-Section Model

TL;DR: In this article, a data identification method is presented to solve a constrained inverse problem and to obtain the parameters of some further correlations that will enhance the accuracy of the results, using as reference the results of a more accurate computer code or the measurements performed for in-core flux maps.

Core monitoring and prediction with a 3d on line model

TL;DR: The results have shown the benefits that can be achieved by the use of core monitoring and prediction with a 3D on line model as: provide larger operating margins and operating flexibility, give the operator the possibility to verify his operating strategies; improve reactor availability.

A transverse buckling based method in core neutronics models equivalence

TL;DR: In this paper, a transverse buckling distribution that takes into account for the neutron leakage in the lost direction is proposed to make an equivalence between two 3D models. But this method is not suitable for multigroup models and it could give poor results in trying to match two models with a strongly non-uniform composition distribution.
