In this paper, KENOV.a module of SCALE code system was used to perform Monte Carlo simulation of the TRIGA MARK II research reactor benchmark experiments [1,2] in steady state operation conditions. Robert Jeraj and his coworkers have presented a similar simulation of the TRIGA MARK II research reactor benchmark experiments via MCNP4A in 1997. [3] The core excess reactivity measurement experimen...

To establish Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) for non-resectable liver metastases and for in vitro experiments at the TRIGA Mark II reactor at the University of Mainz, Germany, it is necessary to have a reliable dose monitoring system. The in vitro experiments are used to determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of liver and cancer cells in our mixed neutron and gamma field. We...

As part of the INIE project of the Big-10 consortium, efforts are underway at UIUC to assemble and test a set of codes that can be used for the design of the next generation of research reactor. SCALE 4.4 has been selected as one of the set of codes for this purpose. We here report some results of analysis of a TRIGA reactor using KENOVI, one of the codes in the SCALE system. Results are presen...

The present work gives a methodology for assessing radiological concentration of I, I, I, I, and I due to a hypothetical accident of TRIGA Mark-II research Reactor at AERE, Savar, Bangladesh. The concentrations were estimated through different pathways like ingestion of vegetation, milk, and meat from air and ground deposition. The maximum air concentrations for all 16 directions were found at ...

During the past five decades, the TRIGA reactor Vienna has reached a top place in utilization among low power research reactors. This paper discussed the highlights of the major neutron physics experiments in the field of neutron interferometry and ultra-small angle neutron scattering as well as in the field of radiochemistry, education and training and research in the field of nuclear safeguar...
