[2J02] Applicability of the Extended Kalman Filter Technique to Reactivity Monitoring at KUCA

*Masao Yamanaka¹, Cheol Ho Pyeon¹ (1. Kyoto Univ.)

Keywords:Extended Kalman filter, Subcriticality monitoring, Pulsed neutorn source expeirment, KUCA

Transient experiments are carried out by inserting control rods in a subcritical with a pulsed neutron source at the KUCA. The purpose of this study is to examine applicability of the extended Kalman filter technique to the subcriticality monitoring through estimation of the subcriticality during transient experiments.
