Description

In this paper two recent advances and a potential one, all based on the Heuristic GPT (HGPT) methodology, are described. The first two advances concern, respectively, a method for the on-line monitoring of a subcritical (ADS) system and a method for detecting potential hot spots in a power reactor via prompt response Self Powered Neutron Detectors (SPND). The third one concerns the potential implementation of GPT methods in Monte Carlo codes. (author)
