TRIGA-2000 Research Reactor Thermal-hydraulic Analysis using RELAP/SCDAPSIM/MOD3.4

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

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...

Thermal Hydraulic Limits Analysis for the MIT Research Reactor Low Enrichment Uranium Core Conversion Using Statistical Propagation of Parametric Uncertainties

The MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is evaluating the conversion from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enrichment uranium (LEU) fuel. In addition to the fuel element redesign from 15 to 18 plates per element, a reactor power upgraded from 6 MW to 7 MW is proposed in order to maintain the same reactor performance of the HEU core. Previous approaches in analyzing the impact of engineering uncerta...

Feasibility Study and Installation of Thermal Neutron Driven 14 MeV Neutron Converter into the TRIGA Research Reactor

Tentative design and implementation of an irradiation facility are described, which will add a 14 MeV component to the neutron spectrum in a thermal research reactor irradiation facility. The idea is to exploit the Li(n,T)He reaction in a blanket of lithium in a deuterated environment, placed in a thermal reactor irradiation channel. Existing literature describing similar devices is reviewed, t...
