Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Réacteur nucléaire ayant une source de neutrons pour le démarrage. De manière à accroître la vie de la source de neutrons 44, la source de neutrons est associée à une barre de commande qui, durant la marche normale du réacteur, est retirée du coeur, de sorte que la source de neutrons n'est pas normalement exposée au flux élevé à l'intérieur du coeur. Avec cette disposition, la vie de toute source de neutrons est accrue mais il est possible en outre d'utiliser une combinaison de plutonium 238, béryllium à longue période de réactivité et de coût relativement faible. Nuclear reactor having a source of neutrons for start-up. In order to increase the life of the neutron source 44, the neutron source is associated with a control rod which, during normal operation of the reactor, is withdrawn from the core, so that the neutron source is not normally exposed to the high flux inside the heart. With this arrangement, the life of any neutron source is increased, but it is also possible to use a combination of plutonium-238, beryllium with a long reactivity period and relatively low cost.
