Abstract
The present article describes the preliminary design studies for PETALE (Programme d’Etude en Transmission de l’Acier Lourd et ses Eléments), an oncoming experimental program in the CROCUS reactor. Within the framework of the Venus-Eole-Proteus collaboration, PETALE continues the nuclear data validation efforts required for modeling GEN-III pressurized water reactors with heavy steel reflectors. The inelastic scattering cross sections at around 1 MeV of iron-56, as well as nickel and chromium isotopes, will be studied separately. The water reflector will be replaced successively by sheets of stainless steel alloy and pure metals—iron, nickel, and chromium. Data will be extracted from two sources: the measured neutron flux attenuation using adequate dosimetry and possibly fission chambers in the metal reflector and from the criticality effects of these reflectors. PETALE will also be used with nuclear data adjustment methods because, as a separated and elemental integral experiment, it allows the limiting of compensation effects in the nuclear data adjustments. A parametric study has been carried out with MCNPX for assessing the optimal configuration and the feasibility of the experiments. This study is the first step toward optimizing the global sensitivity of the experiments to the reactions in the energy range of interest, thus assessing the measurements’ target uncertainties and preparing further use of the program results.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
