Utilisation of JSI TRIGA Pulse Experiments for Testing of Nuclear Instrumentation and Validation of Transient Models

Abstract

A pulse experiment model was validated in order to support future pulse experimental campaigns. All pulse experiments data was collected and are publicly available at http://trigapulse.ijs.si/. A comparison of the measured pulse physical parameters (maximal power, total released energy and full width at half maximum) and theoretical predictions (Fuchs-Hansen and the Nordheim-Fuchs models) was made.
