ERASME: an extensive experiment for LWHCR design qualification
- 1. C.E.A., St-Paul-Lez-Durance, France
Description
An extensive experimental program has been undertaken to validate design studies on the Light Water High Conversion Reactor loaded with mixed oxide fuel. The interpretation has been performed with the French assembly code, i.e. APOLLO. They have demonstrated that the most important neutronic parameters in Pu tight lattices are correctly computed and consistent with the safety criteria. This paper presents the results achieved in the first configuration ERASME with a moderation ratio about 0.5
