The OpenMC code is being employed both as a multi-group nodal macroscopic cross-section generator and reference Monte Carlo (MGMC) solution. aim to do neutronic benchmark verification study versus deterministic model (based on the MYRRHA-1.6 core) performed by PHISICS simulator. MYRRHA, novel research accelerator driven system concept that also foreseen work critical configuration, offers rich ...

The windowless spallation target solution in the MYRRHA project is argued as the only feasible choice within the constraints of the envisaged neutron source performance. The main R&D efforts required as a result of this choice are mentioned. The Vacuum Interface Compatibility Experiment (VICE) to assess the compatibility of the vacuum interface of the proton beam line with the free target surfa...

Cost estimation for large projects can be difficult because of many complex factors and uncertainties involved. It is often the case that only very rough guesses of actual costs may be provided. In this paper, we will examine the various types of uncertainties in the cost estimation problem of the Myrrha project. We will then use a few examples originated from the conceptual phase of the projec...

phytochemical screening, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of aqueous and methanolic crude extracts of commiphora kerstingii leaves were investigated. the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of different solvent extracts of commiphora kerstingii plant were scrutinized. the phytochemical screening of the various extracts was carried out using standard methods and the results revealed...
