DESCRIPTION:Alexandre Colin\nLRS Lab Research Seminar\nSeason 2\n\nAlexand
 re Colin\, Characterisation of the neutron activation of the EPFL CROCUS r
 eactor’s structures\n\nThe Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal o
 f Radioactive Waste (Nagra) is developing an activation calculation sequen
 ce for the neutron-activated components that must be handled when a nuclea
 r power plant is being decommissioned. To validate the code\, measurements
  are performed on elements of the CROCUS reactor. Gamma spectrometry measu
 rements are at first carried out on the concrete of the experimental cavit
 y\, but the lack of knowledge on the geometric efficiency prevents the pro
 per determination of the activity. To calculate the geometry efficiency fo
 r different shapes and setups\, a model of the experimental setup is devel
 oped on SERPENT. The activity can then be calculated for the concrete of t
 he CROCUS cavity as well as the activated elements found in the reactor co
 re such as the guide tubes of the cadmium plates.
