Description

The aim of this paper is to show what can be a contribution of Stochastic Neutronics to the interpretation of criticality accidents. One can estimate the probability distribution of the time duration between the critical time and the neutron burst. It is also possible to understand some consequences of the stochastic aspect of the accident in term of dispersion of the number of neutrons produced during the burst. (author)
