| Parameters | Programme phase | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Reaction rate distribution | RACINE 1A RACINE 1B RACINE 1C RACINE 1F RACINE 1E RACINE 1I |
Different fertile ring positions but with the same volume Increased ring volume Thicker fertile ring than in RACINE 1A, 1B, and 1C Measurements close to control rod singularities IRMA experiment −international benchmark for reaction rate technique and spectral indices intercomparisons |
| γ-heating | RACINE 1A | Multi-laboratories intercomparison of techniques |
| Control rodworth | RACINE 1D RACINE 1E RACINE 1F |
A reference core and a configuration with a single rod at core center Multiple rod configurations Intercomparison of rod drop analysis method (CEA/France, ANL/US, GKAE/URSS) for inserted reactivates in the range [0.25$ ; 1.2$] |
| Criticality approach and neutron control system issue | RACINE 1S | Simulation of neutron guides |
| Sodium void | RACINE 1A RACINE 1D “Na follower” RACINE 1D “B4C rod” |
