“…It allows a wide automatic displacement range from À139 to +906 mm. The second two-superposed-cell calorimeter was integrated into a multi-sensor device called CARMEN [20] developed in the framework of the joint IN-CORE research program between CEA and AMU in order to quantify several key parameters simultaneously such as thermal and fast neutron fluxes, photon fluxes and nuclear heating in periphery channels of OSIRIS reactor up to 2 W/g, by coupling a differential calorimeter [130], a gamma thermometer, ionization chambers, fission chambers, SPNDs, and Self-Powered Gamma Detectors (SPGDs).…”

Abstract. The ANIMMA conferences offer a unique opportunity to discover research carried out in all fields of nuclear measurements and instrumentation with applications extending from fundamental physics to fission and fusion reactors, medical imaging, environmental protection and homeland security. After four successful editions of the Conference, it was decided to prepare a review based to a large extent but not exclusively on the papers presented during the first four editions of the conference. This review is organized according to the measurement methodologies: neutronic, photonic, thermal, acoustic and optical measurements, as well as medical imaging and specific challenges linked to data acquisition and electronic hardening. The paper describes the main challenges justifying research in these different areas, and summarizes the recent progress reported. It offers researchers and engineers a way to quickly and efficiently access knowledge in highly specialized areas.

“…The objective of this program is to combine the analysis of neutron and photon flux measurements for the JHR core mapping [10]. The instrumentation is composed of three different kinds of sensors for the neutron flux measurement (U and Pu fission chambers, Self Powered Neutron Detector), two different kinds of sensors for the photon flux (Ionization chamber, Self Powered Gamma Detector) and two other different ones are dedicated to the nuclear heating (Differential calorimeter and Gamma Thermometer commonly used in MTR).…”

“…They used the tissue equivalent proportional counter to measure the neutron dose and dose equivalent rates, and the multisphere spectrometers were used in measurement of energy distributions [3]. Fourmentel et al did a lot of work to measure more accurately photon flux, nuclear heating, and neutron flux in the reactor [4]. The devices measure the photon flux by two different sensors (Ionization chamber and Self-Powered Gamma Detector), the nuclear heating by two different ones (Differential calorimeter and Gamma Thermometer), and the neutron flux by three different kinds of sensors (Uranium Fission chamber, Plutonium Fission chamber and Self Powered Neutron Detector).…”

The nuclear technology has been widely used in the world. The research of measurement in nuclear installations involves many aspects, such as nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel cycle, safety and security, nuclear accident, after action, analysis, and environmental applications. In last decades, many advanced measuring devices and techniques have been widely applied in nuclear installations. This paper mainly introduces the development of the measuring (instrumentation) methods for nuclear installations and the applications of these instruments and methods.
