Determination of reactor fuel burnup using passive neutron assay

Creators

  • 1. Institut 'Jozef Stefan', Ljubljana (Yugoslavia)
  • 2. IAEA. Vienna (Austria)

Description

Passive neutron assay (PNA) method was developed to verify the fissile inventory of the irradiated reactor fuels. The characteristics of the method were studied at 'Jozef Stefan' Institute. The dependence of neutron source in the fuel on burnup, cooling time, initial enrichment and specific power were investigated and the accuracy of the method, using available computer codes was estimated.
