    Abstract: The invention concerns a detector (15) of a radiation which can possibly be a neutron radiation and a detector (16) of another type of radiation, for example gamma radiation. The method consists in deducing a combustion rate or a radiation rate of the nuclear fuel (26) by measuring the measured value of a radiation assuming that the fuel has a specific composition. The activity of the other radiation is deduced from the radiation which should be obtained, and the accuracy of the assumption concerning the fuel composition is verified if the measured value is close to the deduced value. The apparatus (1) which enables to obtain satisfactory measurements in water-filled pool (26), is provided with means for being fixed to a pole (3) and for being placed (6, 9) in a predetermined position on a fuel storage cell structure (4). The apparatus is moved towards each fuel element.

    Abstract: A method for reducing the proportion of fast neutrons leaking out of a reactor core in a boiling water reactor. The reactor core comprises a plurality of fuel assemblies and is surrounded by a reactor vessel. Water flows upwards through the fuel assemblies and part of the water is thereby transformed into steam. A fuel assembly comprises a number of vertical channel-formed parts, so-called sub-channels (9g, 9h), to accommodate fuel bundles (15g). A fuel bundle comprises a plurality of fuel rods arranged between a bottom tie plate and a top tie plate. Openings (26a, 26b) are provided between adjacent sub-channels such that water and steam may flow between the sub-channels. The method comprises removing, in a plurality of those fuel assemblies which are located furthest out in the core, closest to the reactor vessel, one or more fuel bundles from sub-channels which are facing the reactor vessel, and replacing them with one or more devices (16h) for improving the neutron moderation in the upper portion of the fuel assembly. Such a device comprises means (17) for restricting the water flow in the upper portion of a sub-channel, and means (27) for blocking, downstream of the means for restriction, the openings (26b) between adjacent sub-channels.

    Abstract: An advanced radial core neutron reflector RCR is provided for a nuclear reactor core. The RCR comprises a minimal number of tiers and employs a number of improved restraint mechanisms to provide vertical and horizontal support of the RCR. Specifically, the RCR has four tiers, a bottom tier which functions as a foundation that is precisely aligned and secured with an improved dowel and fastener arrangement, two intermediate tiers, and a top tier. A spigotting staircase-type geometry is employed to radially secure abutting, adjacent tiers. At least the intermediate tiers are segmented into quadrants to facilitate making of the RCR, and a clamping assembly secures the seams between quadrants. One or both of a keying or an alignment pin assembly secures the interfaces between tiers, and a secondary vertical support may be employed at the top tier.
