Temperature noise analysis on a LMFBR defective fuel pin irradiated in a sodium loop
Creators
Description
In the common CEA-ENEA-KfK Volga program, LMFBR fuel pins with initial defects are irradiated in a sodium loop in the high flux Siloe reactor at CEN Grenoble. In the RS1 experiment of this program, the thermopump facility was additionally instrumented with fast thermocouples to study the thermal fluctuation in the coolant sodium. Thermal noise was analyzed in the frequency and time domain as a tool for early detection and follow-up of the evolution of failures in the pin. The results thereby obtained compare well with the standard Delayed Neutron signals analysis. (author)
