AbstractAbstract
[en] Monitoring reactivity in an ADS should be performed on-line with a simple, accurate and robust technique. Within the range of experimental reactor techniques, no single technique can be selected which meet these requirements. Therefore a combination of different techniques has to be chosen in a way that various off-line techniques serve as a calibration for the on-line measurement technique. As an on-line measurement technique, the current/flux reactivity indicator is the most simple and robust solution. It is based on the fact that in a subcritical multiplying medium with a driving source the flux level is proportional to the driving source intensity, hence the beam current, and the reactivity level. However, since the proportionality constant depends on a number of core dependent parameters and detector characteristics, this current-to-flux indicator has to be calibrated on a regular basis. For this calibration, one could benefit from the occurrence of accelerator beam trips to determine the reactivity level in dollars by means of a prompt jump analysis of the flux level change. Hence, the prompt jump reactivity indicator could act as a first calibration tool of the current-to-flux indicator. Since the prompt jump indicator still relies on the value for the effective delayed neutron fraction to determine reactivity level, complementary techniques have to be used to obtain a more accurate determination of the reactivity. Techniques based on reactor noise methods such as RAPJA technique which is combination of the Rossi-alpha method and Prompt jump analysis can be used in this respect. In the future the bi-spectral ratio from the Cf - source driven noise analysis could be used for this purpose. (author)

Monitoring reaktivnosti u ADS sistemu trebalo bi da se vrsi jednostavnom, tacnom i robustnom tehnikom. Od eksperimentalnih tehnika koje koriste fisioni reaktori, nijedna ne moze da zadovolji postavljene zahteve. Zato treba odabrati kombinaciju razlicitih mernih tehnika na nacin da jedna od off-line tehnika sluzi kao kalibracija za selektovanu on-line mernu tehniku. Kao on-line merna tehnika, struja/fluks indikator reaktivnosti je najjednostavnije i pouzdano resenje zasnovano na cinjenici da je gustina neutronskog fluksa u potkriticnoj multiplikativnoj sredini sa spoljnom pobudom proporcionalna intenzitetu izvora, odnosno struji mlaza i nivou reaktivnosti. Medjutim, kako konstanta proporcionalnosti zavisi od vise parametara jezgra i karakteristika detektora, struja/fluks indikator treba da bude kalibrisan na regularan nacin. Za kalibraciju, moze da se koristi Prompt jump metoda (metoda brze promene reaktivnosti) koja analizom brzih promena neutronskog fluksa izazvanih akceleratorskim mlazom odredjuje promene reaktivnosti. Prompt jump indikator reaktivnosti moze da se smatra prvim kalibracionim sredstvom za struja/fluks indikator. Posto se pri odredjivanju reaktivnosti oslanja na vrednost efektivne frakcije zakasnelih neutrona, potrebno je koriscenje komplementarnih tehnika za tacnije odredjivanje reaktivnosti. Tehnike zasnovane na metodama reaktorskog suma kao RAPJA-tehnika koja predstavlja kombinaciju Rossi-Alpha metode i Prompt Jump analize mogu da se koriste u tu svrhu. U buducnosti bi mozda bi-spektralni odnos iz analize neutronskog suma izazvanog pobudom Cf - izvorom mogao da se koristi u svrhu. (autor)Original Title
