Description
The thermal neutron flux and core reactivity were measured when a new fuel element (number 130) was inserted into the IEA-R1 reactor core. The thermal neutron flux distribution was measured by gold activation foil (bare and covered with Cadmium) in the fuel element number 130, and the core reactivity gain due a new fuel element was determined using control rod calibration curve. The experimental results were compared to those obtained by CITATION code calculation. The results presented in this work are a good contribution for a better knowledge of IEA-R1 reactor neutronic behaviour. (author)
