Calculation and experimental measurements in the Argonauta reactor subcritical and exponential facility

  • 1. Instituto de Engenharia Nuclear (IEN), Rio de Janeiro, RJ (Brazil)

Description

Initial measurements were performed on the exponential and subcritical facility installed on the internal thermal column of the Argonauta reactor at IEN-CNEN-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The measurements are include in the reactor physics experimental program for integral parameters determination, for both valid and confirmed theoretical models for reactor calculation. Gamma doses and neutron fluxes were measured with telescopic, proportional counters, wire and foil detectors. Experimental data were compared with results obtained by application of CITATION code.
