Integral data assimilation of the MERCI-1 experiment for the nuclear data associated with the PWR decay heat computation

Nuclear decay heat is a crucial issue for PWR in-core safety after reactor shutdown and back-end cycle. It is a dimensioning parameter for safety injection systems (SIS) to avoid a dewatering of the reactor core. The decay heat uncertainty needs to be controlled over the largest range of application...
