Initial Criticality Analysis of Malaysia’s TRIGA Research Reactor Using TRIGLAV Computer Code

TRIGA Mark-II Research Reactor

The present work gives a methodology for assessing radiological concentration of I, I, I, I, and I due to a hypothetical accident of TRIGA Mark-II research Reactor at AERE, Savar, Bangladesh. The concentrations were estimated through different pathways like ingestion of vegetation, milk, and meat from air and ground deposition. The maximum air concentrations for all 16 directions were found at ...

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry at the Vienna Triga Mark-ii Research Reactor

Recent Improvements to TRIGLAV Code

TRIGLAV code was developed for TRIGA research reactor calculations and is based on twodimensional diffusion equation. The main purpose of the program is calculation of the fuel elements burn-up. Calculated core burn-up and excess reactivity results are compared with experimental values. New control rod model is introduced and tested in this paper. Calculated integral control rod worth and calcu...

Beam calculation for TRIGA reactor

As part of the INIE project of the Big-10 consortium, efforts are underway at UIUC to assemble and test a set of codes that can be used for the design of the next generation of research reactor. SCALE 4.4 has been selected as one of the set of codes for this purpose. We here report some results of analysis of a TRIGA reactor using KENOVI, one of the codes in the SCALE system. Results are presen...

Neutronics Analysis of the TRIGA Vienna Mixed Core

The 250 kW TRIGA Mark II research reactor, Vienna, operates since 7 March 1962. The initial criticality was achieved with the first core loading of 57 fuel elements (FE) of same type (Aluminium clad fuel with 20% enrichment). Later on due to fuel consumption SST clad 20% enriched FE (s) have been added to compensate the reactor core burn-up. In 1975 high enriched (HEU) TRIGA fuel (FLIP fuel = F...
