title = "Analysis of Neutron Emission on PWR Spent Fuel Assemblies for Bum-Up Assessment",
abstract = "A series of passive neutron measurements performed on TIHANGEI spent fuel assemblies were analyzed for comparison with calculated bum-up values and neutron emission rates. The bum-up range of these assemblies was between 10 and 45 MWd/kg and the cooling time varied from 1 to 8 years approximately. The measurements, performed with-{"} U fission chambers, were correlated with neutron emission and bum-up by means of the ORIGEN-2 point model depletion code, taking into account the inadiation history. A fairly good correlation was found between the -'{"}Cm contributions, as deduced from the measurements corrected with ORIGEN-2, and the burn-up values as calculated with fuel management codes. It was noticed that the ratio of the calculated (ORIGEN-2) neutron emission and the measured neutron detection varied with the bum-up.",
