Interpretation of Local Flux Measurements in Subcritical Systems and Reactivity Determination

Figure 4

Power evolution following a source pulse in a subcritical system ( ), simulated with a lpk approach, considering two different detector locations: first row, detector far from the source ( L); second row: detector close to the source ( L). Solid line: reference; dashed line: point kinetics. The inset graphs represent the shape and the weight adopted.
