Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments were carried out on the JANNUS platform (Joint Accelerators for Nano-science and NUclear Simulation) at CSNSM (Center of Nuclear Spectrometry and Mass Spectrometry) laboratory in Orsay. The experiment was devoted to the study of the evolution of the xenon aggregate population with increasing implan...
The world energy requirement will dramatically increase during this century, because of an increasing world population on the one hand and an increasing per capita energy consumption on the other hand. Future prospects of primary energy requirement, basing on different assumptions of the future technological, economical and ecological developments,...

Libraries of two-group neutron-diffusion parameters for a Siemens-KWU-Konvoi Pressurized Water Reactor have been generated at Forschungszentrum Rossendorf and TUeV Bau und Betrieb GmbH by using the codes HELIOS and CASMO, respectively. The libraries have been coupled to the reactor-dynamics code DYN3D. For a generic PWR core containing MOX fuel ele...

Twelve fast breeder U_0_._7_8Pu_0_._2_1Am_0_._0_1O_1_._9_5_5 fuel pins were irradiated as a cluster experiment in the PHENIX reactor up to 9.6% burnup. The principal test parameters of the pins were the smear density, the fuel-clad gap width and the solid/annular geometry of the pellets. Three pin cross-sections were selected to study the radial co...

The accumulation of civil Plutonium from nuclear energy production continuously attains attention as a world wide safety concern. A reliable elimination of the civil Plutonium as well as that from dismantling of nuclear war heads may be achieved only by its fission; intermediate storage or deep underground disposal - whatever technical line is foll...
The code KORIGEN is frequently used for activation calculations. However, this code does not account for the reactions B10(n,2#alpha#)H3 and Li7(n,n'#alpha#)H3 which are essential for the formation of tritium from B10. For obtaining reliable information on the generation of tritium in boron-containing control elements, in support of KORIGEN the cod...
