Simulating a lead-cooled reactor campaign using the EUCLID/V1 code

The paper presents the results of development EUCLID/V1 integrated dynamic code designed to analyze and justify safety fast neutron reactor facilities with a liquid-metal coolant, in terms simulating campaign. relevance this study lies need simulate behavior core at any time during It lets us obtain full dataset for subsequent simulations conditions (including transient states or accidents). authors have developed fuel archive store calculated data HDF5 format, created computational model editor generate input also provided an example computing campaign lead-cooled three design models shown paper. main array assemblies was simulated as single unit first model, units second third every assembly unique. In addition, changes total masses actinides core, revealed that different insignificant effect on evolution actinides, given burnup values models. For largest difference between minimum maximum obtained almost identical average over assemblies. reactivity margin presented. micro-campaigns are equal. From fourth sixth cycle, value lower than ones. Finally, conclude it is desirable evaluate campaigns based detailed core.
