To obtain this data, neutronic experiments are conducted in the three reactors called Éole, Minerve and Masurca which simulate various types of industrial reactor cores: text/html 2023-12-27T13:28:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://igorr.com/reactors:neutron_beam?rev=1703683682&do=diff Neutron beam reactors Neutrons, as compared to X-rays, electron beams or light … display a particular property: being without electrical charge, they deeply penetrate most materials. This means that large samples of semi-finished products or even components can undergo neutronic testing. No prior surface treatment is required and tests are non-destructive. text/html 2023-12-27T13:44:52+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://igorr.com/reactors:new_research?rev=1703684692&do=diff The new research reactors Reactor ageing and the changes in standards lead to safety re-evaluations which are increasingly long and costly. After the safety re-evaluation at Phénix, completed in 2003, in 2005 the Cabri, Masurca and HFR reactors were in the heavy works phases required by safety upgrades. text/html 2023-12-27T13:41:30+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://igorr.com/reactors:safety_research?rev=1703684490&do=diff Reactors for safety research purposes A nuclear power plant, like many other industrial equipment facilities (railroad, airplanes, space shuttles, automobile,...), is designed to operate in a given field (speed, loading …). Nevertheless, the plant must be able to “stand” deviations to the normal operating characteristics without consequences for the users or the surrounding environment. And the nuclear plant is designed, and dimensioned, with this in mind. text/html 2023-12-27T13:38:16+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://igorr.com/reactors:teaching?rev=1703684296&do=diff Teaching reactors The training facilities, on small “teaching” reactors, provide for training and practice of: * Nuclear plant operators (technicians and engineers) in charge of operating their installations * Operators (deputy officers and officers) of nuclear-propelled ships (submarines, aircraft carriers, etc.) text/html 2023-12-27T13:34:14+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://igorr.com/reactors:technological_irradiation?rev=1703684054&do=diff Technological irradiation reactors Using the neutrons generated, and confined, in the core of the reactor, the irradiation installations provide applications in many different fields such as: R&D (Research and Development) * Research on current and future nuclear plant materials’ structure, and their behaviour over time
