Summary
The use of Data Assimilation is fairly recent in the field of nuclear core modelling. This paper is focused on field reconstruction and parameters estimation, based on the standard simulation of neutron fields which are already very accurate. In one application, these methods are used to investigate how to gather information coming from several instruments and to evaluate the impact of instrument loss. In a second application, it leads to best parameter estimation through processing a large set of data, with the aim of improving the simulation for upcoming nuclear core.
