On-Line System for Monitoring of Boiling in Nuclear Reactor Fuel Assemblies

An important goal of nuclear reactor instrumentation is the continuous monitoring of the state of the reactor and the detection of deviations from the normal behaviour at an early stage. Early detection of anomalies enables one to make the necessary steps in order to prevent further damage of nuclear fuel. In the present paper, an on-line core monitoring system is described by means of which bo...

shielding and criticality safety analyses for spent fuel transportation cask in tehran research reactor

in this research, shielding and criticality safety calculations carried out for interim storage and transportation cask in the tehran research reactor. such dual purpose cask is being designed to the spent fuel elements of research reactors. the monte carlo mcnp5 code calculation was utilized for the criticality safety analysis and origen2.1code was used for shielding calculation. according to ...

Burn-up Credit Criticality Benchmark Phase II-D PWR-UO2 Assembly Study of Control Rod Effects on Spent Fuel Composition

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisati...

Development and Applications of a Prototypic SCALE Control Module for Automated Burnup Credit Analysis

Executive Summary Consideration of the depletion phenomena and isotopic uncertainties in burnup-credit criticality analysis places an increasing reliance on computational tools and significantly increases the overall complexity of the calculations. An automated analysis and data management capability is essential for practical implementation of large-scale burnup credit analyses that can be per...
