Abstract in Spanish

Se determinaron teórica y prácticamente algunos parámetros para establecer cuantitativamente la fuente de productos de activación en el núcleo (rangos de recoil del aluminio) en reactores tipo pileta, en este caso el reactor RA6. También se exponen modelos teóricos para determinar la actividad en distintos puntos del circuito primario, así como las mediciones hechas en el RA6 con las que se validaron experimentalmente estos modelos.

Abstract in English

Some parameters were obtained both calculations and experiments in order to determined the source of the meaning activation products in water pool reactors. In this case, the study was done in RA-6 reactor (Centro Atomico Bariloche - Argentina). In normal operation, neutron flux on core activates aluminium plates. The activity on coolant water came from its impurities activation and meanly from some quantity of aluminium that, once activated, leave the cladding and is transported by water cooling system. This quantity depends of the 'recoil range' of each activation reaction. The 'staying time' on pool (the time that nuclides are circulating on the reactor pool) is another characteristic parameter of the system. Stationary state activity of some nuclides depends of this time. Also, several theoretical models of activation on coolant water system are showed, and their experimental validations
