The purpose of this paper is the use data assimilation techniques, inspired from meteorological applications, to perform an optimal reconstruction of the neutronic field in a nuclear core. Both measurements, and information coming from a numerical model, are used in this purpose. We first study the robustness of the method when the amount of measured information varies. We then study the influence of the nature of the instruments and their spatial repartition on the efficiency of the field reconstruction. Such study allows, also enlightening the instruments providing the most information within a data assimilation procedure. The study of various network configurations of instruments in the nuclear core establishes that influence of the instruments depends both on the individual instrumentation location as well as on the chosen network.
