Abstract Core conversion requires some evaluation of the reactor safety. Changes to reactivity worth, shutdown margin, power density and material properties are crucial proper functioning reactor. The focus this article is study neutron flux distribution in core radiation damage on candidate clads. Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1) operates at maximum 30 kW order attain a 1.0× 10 12 n·cm –2 ·s...

In this article, a criticality and depletion analysis of the European Lead-Cooled Training Reactor (ELECTRA), low-power, compact, fast lead-cooled reactor, was performed. The active core model simulations were made by using MCNPX code. First, is compared with reference influence reflector radius on system analyzed. Secondly, it simulated fuel combustion after 30 years continuous operation ELECT...

Systematic parameter survey calculations were performed to investigate basic characteristics (burnup reactivity loss, Doppler coefficient, sodium void reactivity , control rod worth , power distribution, transmutation rate, breeding ratio etc.) of an LMFBR core loaded with minor actinide (MA) fuels which contain rare earths (RE) and a}so to establish MA and RE loading method which has no seriou...
