The CORTEX project: Improving nuclear fleet operational availability
We often define noise as an unwanted disturbance, especially acoustic in nature. Neutron noise, by contrast, is a direct measure of the dynamics of a nuclear core. It can be used for core monitoring without disturbing plant operation and by using the existing core instrumentation. The European CORTEX project aims to develop an innovative core monitoring technique using neutron noise, while capitalizing on the latest developments in neutronic modeling, signal processing, and artificial intelligence.

We are transforming our 2020 ANS Annual Meeting into an online conference June 8-11. This will allow us to deliver the top quality content and technical exchange you've come to expect from ANS meetings while ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved.
Our first-ever virtual meeting will feature live content along with recorded presentations and sessions, all of which will be available on demand to registered attendees following the meeting.
Presented summaries will be included in Vol. 122 of our Transactions of the American Nuclear Society, enabling people who have already submitted papers for the Annual Meeting to be published. Please email annual2020@ans.org to note if you submitted a paper and want to publish your summary and participate in the virtual meeting.
