Improved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel
Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on thorium for use in tradit...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Burnup Code Linking Mcnp and Rebus*
The REBUS-3 burnup code, used in the ANL RERTR Program, is a very general code that uses diffusion theory (DIF3D) to obtain the fluxes required for reactor burnup analyses. Diffusion theory works well for most reactors. However, to include the effects of exact geometry and strong absorbers that are difficult to model using diffusion theory, a Monte Carlo method is required. MCNP, “a general-pur...
متن کاملDetermination of the Transuranic Elements Inventory in High Burnup Pwr Spent Fuel Samples by Alpha Spectrometry
Determination of transuranic elements such as U, Pu, Np, Am and Cm in spent nuclear fuels is of importance for a fuel characterization, evaluation of a burnup credit, and burnup determination of spent nuclear fuels. Additionally, the exact amount of the actinide elements, as the major elements of a source term, of the spent nuclear fuels is also used for a code verification that predicts the am...
متن کاملCalculation of the rotational bands for the 20Ne isotope
The phenomenon of clustering in light nuclei is one of the interesting topics while its study is difficult. In this article, a simple model (the two-particle model which includes a core and a cluster) is presented for the investigation of the positive and the negative parity of rotational bands of 20Ne isotope. The Deng-Fan and the Hellman potentials are considered as the core and the cluster p...
