Towards the enhancement of nuclear reactor safety: Physical phenomena involved in the measurement accuracy of boron concentration online monitoring systems
In Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), boron10 (10B) is added to the primary fluid as boric acid to regulate criticality and power distribution within the core. Indeed, 10B possesses a significant neutron absorption cross-section of approximately 3845 barns for thermal neutron energy (around 25.3 meV...
