Oscillation experiments techniques in CEA MINERVE experimental reactor

The CEA is deeply involved in a research program (Material Testing Reactors, Zero Power Reactors) concerning the nuclear fuel advanced studies (actinides, plutonium), the waste management, the scientific and technical support of running French PWR reactors and EPR reactor, and innovating systems. In this framework, specific neutron integral experiments have been carried out in the critical facilities of the CEA Cadarache, such as MINERVE, EOLE and MASURCA. This paper deals with experiments in the MINERVE pool Zero Power Reactor.
