Beam calculation for TRIGA reactor
نویسنده
چکیده
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 presented for a beam optimization study. Effects of several parameters on the level and spectrum of flux are reported.

Modeling a TRIGA Mark II Biological Shield using MCNP5
The 250kW TRIGA Mark II research reactor, Vienna, is equipped with experimental facilities inside and outside the reactor core. Outside the core, there are four beam tubes (three radial and one tangential beam tube), a thermal column and a neutron radiography collimator, supplying neutrons for irradiation experiments. These experiments include neutron radiography, neutron tomography, neutron ac...
متن کاملSerpent-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...

BACKGROUND This work presents an initial proposed design of a Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) facility to be installed at the TRIGA IPR-R1, a 60 years old research reactor of the Centre of Development of Nuclear Technology (CDTN) in Brazil. The basic characteristics of the facility and the results of the neutron flux are presented and discussed. FINDINGS The proposed design is based o...
متن کاملIn-situ gamma spectrometry measurements of time-dependent Xenon-135 inventory in the TRIGA Mark II reactor Vienna
In this work, it has been shown that the time dependent Xe inventory in the TRIGA Mark II reactor in Vienna, Austria can be measured via gamma spectrometry even in the presence of strong background radiation. It is focussing on the measurement of (but not limited to) the nuclide Xe. The time dependent Xe inventory of the TRIGA Mark II reactor Vienna has been measured using a temporary beam line...
متن کاملPresent 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...
