AbstractAbstract
[en] The knowledge of the subcritical state of a reactor in the course of starting up makes it possible to avoid passing too quickly through the critical state. The problem arises every time the pile is put into action again following, for example, an appreciable modification in the fuel charge, or an accidental fall of the security rods during a run at high flux or at high temperature. The method described provides a mean of knowing at each moment the anti-reactivity value of the pile by means of a direct-reading instrument mounted on the control board. This result is obtained by superimposing a fixed frequency oscillation on the normal movement of a control rod, and reading on a phase-meter the dephasing of the neutron density. Theory shows, and experiments confirm, that for a given frequency the dephasing depends only on the lifetime of the fast neutrons, the characteristics of the slow neutrons and the anti-reactivity of the pile. The minimum time necessary for an anti-reactivity determination is equal to a modulation period (from 1 to 4 seconds). (authors)

La connaissance de l'etat sous-critique d'un reacteur au cours de son demarrage permet d'eviter un passage trop rapide par l'etat critique. Le probleme se pose lors de tout redemarrage suivant, par exemple, une modification importante du chargement en combustible ou une chute accidentelle des barres de securite dans une marche a haut flux ou a haute temperature. Le procede decrit permet de connaitre a chaque instant la valeur de l'antireactivite de la pile grace a un appareil de lecture directe monte sur le tableau de controle. Ce resultat est obtenu en superposant au mouvement normal d'une barre de reglage, une oscillation a frequence fixe, et en lisant sur un phasemetre le dephasage de la densite neutronique. La theorie montre, et l'experience confirme, que pour une frequence determinee, le dephasage depend uniquement du temps de vie des neutrons prompts, des caracteristiques des neutrons retardes et de l'antireactivite de la pile. Le temps minimum necessaire a la determination d'une antireactivite est de l'ordre de quelques periodes de modulation (de 1 a 4 s). (auteurs)Original Title
