Stochastic fluctuations of the neutron population within a nuclear reactor are typically
prevented by operating the core at a sufficient power, since a deterministic (ie, exactly …

Prompt neutron decay constant α in a critical state is useful information to validate the
numerically predicted ratio of the point kinetics parameters β eff/ℓ, where β eff and ℓ are the …

When measuring the fundamental mode decay constant γ in an exponential experiment, it is
difficult to extract the fundamental mode from a measured neutron flux distribution that is …

Degweker and Rana (2007) have developed a noise theory considering the external
neutron source as exponentially correlated Gaussian character for Accelerator Driven …

This open access book is a pedagogical text on nuclear reactor experiments, covering
almost all the experiments that can be carried out at the University Training Reactor, Kindai …

The prompt neutron decay constant α in a steady-state subcritical system can be directly
measured using a reactor noise analysis method such as the Feynman-α method. To reduce …

Noise experiments, and the Feynman-α method in particular, are used to measure the decay
rate of the neutron population in a source driven subcritical assembly, such as that of a shut …

The Pál-Bell equation is a backward-type master equation that describes the probability
generating function (PGF) of neutron counts in a neutron multiplication system. Thanks to the …

Reactor laboratory experiments are conducted in zero-powered research reactor facilities, at
the University Teaching and Research Reactor (UTR in Kindai University: UTR-KINKI) and …

The applicability of the linear combination method is experimentally confirmed through the
pulsed neutron source (PNS) experiment. The linear combination method reduces the …
