The evaluation of degradation scenarios of building components
This Ph.D. thesis presents a methodology for evaluating the multi-attribute performance profiles of building components, taking into account the entire set of possible... -
Suppression of the initial transient in MonteCarlo criticality simulations
Criticality Monte Carlo calculations aim at estimating the effective multiplication factor (k-effective) for a fissile system through iterations simulating neutrons... -
Lithium: An Overview

Studies on the convergence of a Monte Carlo criticality calculation : couplin...
Monte Carlo criticality calculation allows to estimate the effective mu- tiplication factor as well as local quantities such as local reaction rates. Some... -
Fission fragment angular distribution and fission cross section validation
The present knowledge of angular distributions of neutron-induced fission is limited to a maximal energy of 15 MeV, with large discrepancies around 14 MeV. Only 238U...
