The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) requires that all test and research reactors operating on Higher Enriched Uranium (HEU) should be converted to Low (LEU) for safety security purposes. Nigeria having a Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) has been long interested in fuel technological not just develop the area but also meet with resolution nuclear treaty set out by global regulat...

Antineutrinos are an inextricable element of the fission process. The kiloton-scale KamLAND experiment has demonstrated a capability to detect reactor antineutrinos at range few hundred kilometers. But or rule out existence single small over many kilometers requires large detector, so in fact that optical opacity detection medium itself becomes important factor. If detector is photons cannot tr...

The release of fission products and fuel materials from a molten-salt fast-reactor in hypothetical accident conditions was investigated. fast reactor this investigation features neutron spectrum, operating the thorium cycle, it uses LiF-ThF4-UF4 as salt. A coupling between severe code MELCOR thermodynamical equilibrium solver GEMS, so-called cGEMS, with updated HERACLES database used modeling w...

Abstract Previous works have demonstrated that the Fourier fundamental mode coefficient (FFMC) is a potential fission source convergence indicator for Monte Carlo k -eigenvalue calculations. Unlike conventional Shannon entropy indicator, it requires no spatial meshing, and its computation computationally inexpensive. However, we found FFMC less sensitive to involving near symmetrical distributi...
