Reactor Pulse Operation for Nuclear Instrumentation Detector Testing – Preparation of a Dedicated Experimental Campaign at the JSI TRIGA Reactor

Present Services at the Triga Mark Ii Reactor of the Jsi

The 250 kW TRIGA Mark II research reactor of the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) has been in operation since 1966. The reactor went critical on 30 May 1966. It is a light water reactor, with solid fuel elements in which the zirconium hydride moderator is homogeneously distributed between enriched uranium. The reactor core consists of about 70 fuel elements, which are arranged in an annular lattice...

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...

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 ...

Serpent-2 Reactor Model Validation at the Vienna Triga Mark Ii Reactor

The Vienna TRIGA Mark II reactor was modelled by means of the Serpent-2 Monte Carlo burnup calculation code. The purpose of the modelling is the determination of core critical parameters and of nuclear fuel composition time evolution. This paper presents the Serpent-2 reactor model validation process carried out during the last year. Taking into account the irradiation history, the fuel composi...
