Abstract

A new integral measurement of the 7Li neutron induced elastic scattering cross section was determined in a wide neutron energy range. The measurement was performed on the LPSC-PEREN experimental facility using a heterogeneous graphite-LiF slowing-down time spectrometer coupled with an intense pulsed neutron generator (GENEPI-2). This method allows the measurement of the integral elastic scattering cross section in a slowing-down neutron spectrum. A Bayesian approach coupled to Monte Carlo calculations was applied to extract naturalC, 19F and 7Li elastic scattering cross sections.

Abstract

National audience; Le principe de la thérapie par capture neutronique est d’introduire à l’intérieur de la cellule tumorale une molécule comportant un noyau atomique (10B ou 157Gd) présentant une très grande section efficace de capture pour les neutrons thermiques, lesquels vont provoquer soit la fragmentation d’un noyau de 11B (BNCT), soit l’émission de nombreux électrons de basse énergie (électron Auger ou de conversion), ce qui crée une très forte dose locale (GdNCT). Les molécules utilisées ont une faible toxicité intrinsèque.Le développement de la NCT est très limité en comparaison d’autres thérapies (chimiothérapie, radiothérapie, hadronthérapie). Ceci est dû à la grande difficulté d’accès à des faisceaux de neutrons épithermiques (E

Abstract

Exposé oral; International audience; In France, we have started in 2015, an interdisciplinary work on AB-NCT profiting of a synergy among different research institutes: Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie de Grenoble (LPSC), the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and the Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon (IPNL) coming from nuclear physics, with neutron and gamma detection expertise and their medical applications, the Grenoble University Hospital (CHU) and the Institut Albert Bonniot (IAB) coming from radiobiology, biological research, and clinical experience.The main purpose of this collaboration is to enable the production of epithermal neutron fields in a hospital environment by contributing to the development of compact (accelerator based) neutron sources. In parallel, we plan to improve the understanding of the biophysical determinants of the effectiveness of treatment performing radiobiology studies by cell irradiations at the ILL and simulation modelling (see R. Delorme et al. contribution). In addition, a particular effort will be performed to understand and optimize the deleterious effects of AB-NCT on tumor cells and to characterize the potential induction of subsequent anti-tumor immune responses.Since the beginning of the project, the major realizations have been:- a rotating Be target design able to cope with 30 kW (20 mA of deuteron beam at 1.5 MeV) and on the thermal tests with an electron beam using the COMICAC facility at LPSC,- the design of a Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) adapted to this rotating target,- the development of a neutron directional detection system to characterize and control the neutron fields before and during the NCT irradiation.We will present the fast neutron directional detector (MIMAC-FastN) able to characterize the fluence and the angular distribution of the neutron fields produced. Using a thin foil of natB inside the active volume, we can calibrate the detector with the same reaction that will be produced at the tumor level. We will show results of measurements of fast neutrons performed recently. We will present the design and thermal simulations of the original rotating target, with in situ regeneration capability, and the BSA adapted to it.All these contributions will be placed in the context of a national project profiting of know-how on high current ion sources and RFQ availabilities.

Abstract

paper 9207; International audience; Essentially, because the salt is the moderator, the coolant and the fuel, the study of Molten Salt Reactor are specific. There are strong coupling between neutronics, and other part of physic field like the chemistry for instance. The system presented in this paper is called Molten Salt Fast Reactor which is a molten salt reactor with no moderator inside the core with a salt composition which leads to a fast neutron spectrum. Previous studies showed that this concept (previously called Thorium Molten Salt Reactor – Non moderated) has very promising characteristics. We tried to explain computational problems due to the study of this concept, especially the coupling with the reprocessing and with the chemistry. Indeed, the reprocessing is done little by little in situ, so we have to consider it in our studies. We also show that the redox properties changes during operation because fissions change the salt chemistry (it is a reductive process). Our program is a coupling between MCNP and a home made evolution code called REM. It was validated for thermal neutron and epithermal neutron spectrum but not for fast neutron spectrum, so a brief study with ERANOS of the MSFR is also presented here.

Abstract

paper 9149; International audience; Molten salt reactors in the present configuration, called Molten Salt Fast Reactors (MSFR), have been selected for further studies by the Generation IV International Forum. These reactors, characterized by a fast neutron spectrum, may be operated in simplified and safe conditions in the Th/233U fuel cycle with fluoride salts. Since 233U does not exist on earth and is not being directly produced today, we investigated the possibility of using, in this MSFR concept, the transuranic elements (TRU) currently produced in the world as an initial fissile load. We present here the concept, before focusing on a possible optimization in terms of minimization of the initial fissile inventory and improvement of the burning efficiency. Our studies demonstrate that an initial fissile inventory around 4 to 5 metric tons per GWe may be easily reached with a burning rate after 50 years of operation ranging from 87% to 93%. These studies also bring to light the limitations of the concept due to the irradiation damages to the structural materials. We conclude that this issue will have to be studied in depth to allow a realistic evaluation of the global possibilities of such a reactor.

Abstract

Molten salt reactors, in the configuration presented here and called Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR), are particularly well suited to fulfil the criteria chosen by the Generation IV forum, and may be operated in simplified and safe conditions in the Th/233U fuel cycle with fluoride salts. Amongst all MSR configurations in the thorium cycle, many studies have highlighted the configurations with no moderator in the core as simple and very promising. Since 233U does not exist on earth and is not being produced today, we aim at designing a critical MSR able to burn the Plutonium and the Minor Actinides produced in the current operating reactors, and consequently to convert this Plutonium into 233U. This leads to closing the current fuel cycle thanks to TMSRs started with transuranic elements on a Thorium base, i.e. started in the Th/Pu fuel cycle, similarly to fast neutron reactors operated in the U/Pu fuel cycle. We will detail optimizations of this transition between the reactors of second and third generations to the Thorium cycle. Such a transition is based on a fleet of TMSRs with no moderator in the core, including TMSRs started with Plutonium and TMSRs directly started with 233U. We developed parametric studies to optimize these TMSRs, amongst which the study presented here, based on one of the main TMSR parameters: the percentage of heavy nuclei in the fuel salt of the TMSR configuration, which modifies the moderation ratio of the reactor and thus influences both the initial fissile inventory and the spectrum of the reactor. We analyze the characteristics of each reactorconfiguration, in terms of deterministic safety parameters, fissile matter inventory, salt reprocessing, radiotoxicity and waste production, and finally deployment capacities.

Abstract

International audience; Molten salt reactors, in the configuration presented here and called Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR), are particularly well suited to fulfil the criteria defined by the Generation IV forum, and may be operated in simplified and safe conditions in the Th/233U fuel cycle with fluoride salts. The characteristics of TMSRs based on a fast neutron spectrum are detailed in this paper, focusing on their excellent level of deterministic safety. We aimed at designing a critical TMSR able to burn the Plutonium and the Minor Actinides produced in the currently operating reactors, and consequently to convert this Plutonium into 233U. This leads to closing the current fuel cycle thanks to TMSRs started with transuranic elements on a Thorium base, i.e. started in the Th/Pu fuel cycle. We study the transition between the reactors of second and third generations to the Thorium cycle in a European frame.

Abstract

Les réacteurs à sels fondus semblent aujourd'hui présenter une alternative intéressante aux réacteurs de quatrième génération refroidis au sodium. En effet, les réacteurs à sels fondus ont beaucoup évolué depuis le M.S.B.R. (prototype américain de réacteur à sels fondus modéré au graphite et fonctionnant en spectre thermique). Le concept évolue aujourd'hui vers des réacteurs sans modérateur en coeur dont le spectre neutronique s'est considérablement durci par rapport au spectre thermique du M.S.B.R. Ces réacteurs possèdent une unité de retraitement couplée qui permet de purifier le sel et d'optimiser la gestion des déchets rejetés. On espère ainsi définir un retraitement efficace qui minimiserait la radiotoxicité de ce type de réacteur. Ce rapport explique comment on simule l'évolution des réacteurs à sels fondus et on calcule la radiotoxicité des déchets produits. Les résultats donnés ici ne sont qu'indicatifs et servent surtout à monter que les outils et méthodes développés pendant ce stage sont satisfaisants et permettront une étude beaucoup plus poussée lors de la thèse qui suit.

Abstract

The present document is the D13 deliverable report of work package 1, Target Development, from the MEGAPIE TEST project of the 5th European Framework Program. Deliverable D13 is the final summary report on the activities performed within WP 1. The manufacturer (ATEA) has indicated to deliver the target to PSI in the middle of 2005. Assuming that this date is realistic, it can be foreseen that the integral out-of beam test will be conducted during the end of the year 2005 and the beginning of the year 2006. It can be assumed that the irradiation of the MEGAPIE target will start during the second quarter of 2006. The content of the present work package 1 final summary report reflects the status of the MEGAPIE target and ancillary system development at the end of 2004.
