In nuclear safety, some severe accident scenarios lead to the presence of fission products in aerosol form in the closed containment atmosphere. It is important to understand the particle depletion process to estimate the risk of a release of radioactivity ...
The gamma-ray activity from short-lived fission products has been measured in fresh and burnt UO2 fuel samples after irradiation in a zero-power reactor. For the first time, short-lived gamma-ray activity from fresh and burnt fuel has been compared and fre ...
Total fission rate measurements have been performed on full-size boiling water reactor fuel assemblies of type SVEA-96 Optima2 in the framework of phase III of the light water reactor (LWR)PROTEUS experimental program at Paul Scherrer Institute. This paper ...
Deep geological repository involving a multi-barrier system constitutes one of the most promising options for isolating high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. In order to certify the efficiency of waste isolation it is essential to unders ...
