Research Abstract

A cooperative research between the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA) and the Japanese University Association (JUA) involved in the joint use program of the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) was conducted to promote the study on reactor physics for the research and development of light-water reactor of next generation based on the cooperation agreement. Based on the promotion of individual activities, common theme aiming at upgrading methodologies for neutronics calculation and reactor physics experiment was settled through the information exchange in Japan-France seminar. As a result, improvement of the accuracy was realized in the treatment of resonance absorption, the evaluation of nuclear data of transuranic elements, the measurement of reaction rate distribution, the measurement of subcriticality, and so on.
