  • Radiation measurements in reactor pulse mode at the JSI TRIGA reactor – Power meter based on Cherenkov light intensity measurements
    Peric, Julijan ...
    The Cherenkov power meter developed at the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) is an independent, reliable and cost-effective measurement system based on Cherenkov radiation detection, used to measure fast ... power transients during pulse operation at the JSI TRIGA research reactor. It is based on a closed tube in order to avoid interference from external light sources and radiation damage experienced by optical fibers. The tube is placed in the reactor core periphery, the bottom part of the tube is filled with water, serving as the source of Cherenkov light. The measurements obtained in the framework of an extensive experimental campaign in collaboration with the French Atomic and Alternative Energy Commission (CEA) focused on reactor pulse operation using the Cherenkov power meter show excellent agreement with existing nuclear instrumentation (TRIGA pulse recorder), especially for high peak power pulses. However, the Cherenkov power meter outperforms the TRIGA pulse recorder in accurately recording low peak power pulses. The power vs. time behavior measured with the Cherenkov power meter is in accordance with measurements using miniature fission and ionization chambers developed at the CEA. The possibility of reactor pulse characterization based on measurements with the Cherenkov power meter combined with neutron dosimetry measurements sets the basis for enabling irradiation during pulse operation at JSI TRIGA research reactor in the future
