Validation of MORET 4 perturbation against 'physical' type fission products experiments

  • 1. Institut de Radioprotection et de Surete Nucleaire IRSN, Fontenay aux Roses Cedex (France)

Description

After shortly recalling one among the many pertinent recent features of the French criticality CRISTAL package i.e. the perturbation algorithm (so called MORET 4 'Perturbation' or MP), this paper presents original MP validations. Numerical and experimental validations are made using close fission products (FP) experiments. As results, it is shown that, all being equal, MP can detect FP's absorption cross-section variations in the range 0.3-1.2%. (author)
