Mechanistic analysis of loft pulsed neutron activation data

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6476922
Pulsed Neutron Activation (PNA) is a technique for measuring mass-weighted flow velocities without perturbing the flow. Monte Carlo PNA tagging and Monte Carlo detection calculations of the irradiated fluid with the transport of the irradiated fluid are used to predict the time spectrum in a PNA measurement. This mechanistic method has been used to analyze recent LOFT PNA measurements of single-phase water flowing in a 14-in. (0.35 m) schedule 160 steel pipe.
