Coeur du réacteur. On voit les fils et les moteurs des barres de controle et de sécurité (ici engagée dans le coeur), la cuve (vide d'eau) et les quatre vases d'expension qui permettent d'évacuer l'eau en moins d'une seconde (coupant ainsi la réaction).
Remerciements chaleureux à René Frueh, chef d'exploitation de CROCUS, pour avoir consacré une heure à ouvrir les portes de cet univers et à expliquer des détails techniques.
CROCUS Reactor; CAROUSEL experiments; miscalenous experiments and manipulations; detectors and instruments.
Core of the reactor. Note the strings and motors of the control rods (here engaged in the core), the water bassin (empty here) and the four expension vases which can evacuate the water from the bassin in less than a second (hence cutting off the reaction).
Wholehearted thanks to René Frueh, chief of operations of CROCUS, for devoting a whole hours to open doors of this universe and explain technical details.(Reusing this file)
