Abstract
This article presents a new method for determining the radial distribu tion of fuel burn-up by measuring neutron counts from the reactor core at subcritical states by detectors of the reactor control system. Ini tial results of an experiment carried out for some fuel elements of th e Dalat reactor are also introduced. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
