IRSN and CEA have developed simplified models for those probes using two codes: CIVA and FLUX. A good agreement is obtained between data and simulation results considering the uncertainties in the probe parameters and the simplified approach. The complex shape of the ferrite core of the +Point probe is a challenging issue for modeling and is not considered in this preliminary work. CEA is developing a new model within CIVA for eddy current probes with a complex ferrite core. %G English %L cea-01840603 %U https://cea.hal.science/cea-01840603 %~ CEA %~ IRSN %~ DRT %~ LIST %~ DIN
