Description

In this paper, we analyse the overall experimental results related to the bowing effect, so as to emphasize the main lessons to be learned from the two measurement campaigns: bowing effect with type of fuel and presence of guide tube in bowed pin angle. We also present the calculated results and the Calculation-Experiment (C-E) deviation analysis on the variation of the fission rate in the pins concerned by the perturbation. (J.P.N.)
