Methods and codes for neutronic calculations of the MARIA research reactor.

Description: The core of the MARIA high flux multipurpose research reactor is highly heterogeneous. It consists of beryllium blocks arranged in 6 x 8 matrix, tubular fuel assemblies, control rods and irradiation channels. The reflector is also heterogeneous and consists of graphite blocks clad with aluminum. Its structure is perturbed by the experimental beam tubes. This paper presents methods and codes used to calculate the MARIA reactor neutronics characteristics and experience gained thus far at IAE and … more

ANL analysis of ZPPR-13A

Description: The ZPPR-13 experiments provide basic physics data for radial heterogeneous LMFBR cores of approximately 700MWe size. Assemblies ZPPR-13A, ZPPR-13B and ZPPR-13C comprised the JUPITER-II cooperative program between the U.S. Department of Energy (US DOE) and PNC of Japan. The measurements were made between August 1982 and April 1984. The core designs and the measurements were planned jointly by the two parties with substantial input from U.S. industrial interests to ensure coverage of the design … more

Evaluation of the core physics and safety characteristics of a quasi-homogeneous LMFBR concept

Description: A core design concept utilizing two types of driver assemblies that differ in fuel pin diameter has been investigated as an alternative to the heterogeneous LMFBR core for achieving low HCDA energetics. Core designs based on the (quasi-homogeneous) concept were developed and their performance compared to that of standard homogeneous and hetergeneous cores. It is shown that quasi-homogenous cores can be designed which possess many of the performance advantages of homogeneous cores (such as reduc… more
