Burn-up Credit Criticality Benchmark Phase IV-B: Results and Analysis of MOX Fuel Depletion Calculations

Pursuant to Article 1 of the Convention signed in Paris on 14th December 1960, and which came into force on 30th September 1961, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shall promote policies designed: − to achieve the highest sustainable economic growth and employment and a rising standard of living in Member countries, while maintaining financial stability, and thus t...

Dragon Evaluation of the Benchmark for the Doppler Reactivity Defect

A set of computational benchmarks for the Doppler reactivity defect for fuel pin cells was submitted by R. D. Mosteller. It includes UO2 fuel, reactor-recycle mixed-oxide(MOX) fuel and weapons-grade MOX fuel with several enrichments. This paper describes the choices of computations and the results of these benchmarks with DRAGON. We will show that for the calculation of Doppler defect, we do no...

Burn-up Credit Criticality Benchmark Phase II-D PWR-UO2 Assembly Study of Control Rod Effects on Spent Fuel Composition

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisati...

A Nodal Expansion Method for Solving the Multigroup Sp3 Equations in the Reactor Code Dyn3d

The core model DYN3D which has been developed for three-dimensional analyses of steady states and transients in thermal reactors with quadratic or hexagonal fuel assemblies is based on nodal methods for the solution of the two-group neutron diffusion equation. Loading cores with higher content of MOX fuel, the increase of the fuel cycle length and new types of reactors are challenging for these...

A New Paradigm for Whole Core Neutron Transport without Homogenization

A new paradigm is introduced which allows the performance of whole core transport calculations without lattice homogenization. Quasi-reflected interface conditions are formulated to partially decouple periodic lattice effects from the pin-cell to pin-cell flux variation in the finite subelement form of the variational nodal code VARIANT. With fuel-coolant homogenization eliminated, the interfac...
