Formulation of detector response function to calculate the power density profiles using in-core neutron detectors

Description

By measuring neutron fluxes at different locations throughout a core, it's possible to derive the power-density profile Pk (W cm-3), at an axial depth z of fuel rod k. Micro-pocket fission detectors (MPFD) have been fabricated to perform such in-core neutron flux measurements. The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical model to obtain axial power density distributions in the fuel rods from the in-core responses of the MPFDs
