ISRD 15 Held in Aix-en-Provence, May, 2014

Scientific program included following topics: Reactor surveillance and plant life management Nuclear data Neutron and gamma transport calculations and modelling Experimental techniques Benchmarks and intercomparisons Dosimetry for research reactors : MTR, ZPR, ADS, fusion... More than 150 participants from 30 countries 6 Workshops on Tuesday 20th and Thursday 22nd 2 poster sessions on Monday 19th and Wednesday 21 st

Reactor Surveillance and Plant Life In-vessel and ex-vessel dosimetry programs AGR dosimetry experience Fluence-to-dpa corelation attempts Core to vessel benchmark experiments CEA/ Cadarache FLUOLE Benchmark

Nuclear data Validation of the recently released International Reactor Dosimetry and Fusion File (IRDFF) in different fields Evaluation of the 93 Nb Reaction Cross-Section Analysis of induced gamma activation by D-T neutrons in selected fusion reactor relevant materials with EAF and IRDFF-1.0

Dosimetry for research reactors Older dosimetry data reviewing and documenting Contribution of accelerator facilities to the reactor dosimetry Extensive dosimetry demand of BNCT recognized Advances in radiation heating measurements using calorimeters

Dosimetry for research reactors Two main fields of calorimeters application: Electronics Fusion technology like energy deposition in blanket, magnetic coil insulation, etc.

Neutron and gamma transport calculations and modelling Focussed on methods coupling, implementation of core techniques GEN 4 problems modelling: RPV damage Dose evaluations Tritium production

Neutron and gamma transport calculations and modelling The Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Lead by Oak Ridge National Lab and funded by U.S. Department of Energy, with participation from laboratory, academic, and industry partners Established in July 2010 for the purpose of providing advanced modeling and simulation solutions for commercial nuclear reactors. Primary goal is to provide coupled, higher-fidelity, usable modeling and simulation capabilities, needed to address light water reactor (LWR) operational and safety performance-defining phenomena that are not yet able to be fully modeled taking a first-principles approach. TITAN as main computing power (almost cores and almost GPU accelerators) and F-5 Storm as interface system (Joel A. Kulesza, et. al.)
