It is used as a back-up reactor for irradiation radioisotope targets to the local market. This present study describes the fuel type conversion, from TRIGA fuel rod type to the MTR fuel plate type, as a solution to the fuel shortage. The optimum silicide (U3Si2-Al) equilibrium core are obtained by using WIMSD/5B (cell calculations) and BATAN-FUEL and BATAN-3DIFF (core calculations) codes for static and kinetic core parameters. The core calculation results showed that the optimum equilibrium core configuration is 5×5 core grid position and the maximum thermal neutron fluxes in the centre and periphery core are 6.07×1013 neutron/cm2s and 1.41×1013 neutron/cm2s, respectively. It is concluded that TRIGA 2000 reactor can be designed with very satisfactory static parameters and inherent safety.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44156865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LEU and MOX fuel assembly designs consider fissile loading and gadolinium loading which are significantly higher than current fuel designs. In this paper, we describe the solution to this benchmark problem by the lattice burnup code VISWAM. This code solves the transport equation by the interface current method based on 2-D collision probability (2DCP). The incoming and outgoing angular fluxes at the pin-cell interfaces are expanded in terms of PN half space expansions, where N is the order of the expansion. We have considered three expansions, double P0, double P1 and double P2 for evaluating the escape and transmission probabilities. The higher order methods are more accurate where flux anisotropy is high.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48315168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CDTN is equipped with a Triga Mark I nuclear reactor with almost 60 years of operation. Most of its fuel elements are in the core since the first criticality, and corrosion may occur that threatens the integrity of spent fuel claddings. The reactor coolant must be treated and controlled in order to maintain its low electrical conductivity and pH close to neutrality, in order to minimise the corrosion of the reactor components, mainly the fuel elements. The objective of this work is to present the leak monitoring system developed for the verification of possible leaks in the Triga fuel elements based on the sipping test. A correlation was also developed to find the diameter of a hypothetical small cylindrical hole in the fuel cladding as a function of Cs-137 activity values to be measured.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46077807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To provide favourable conditions, these problems should be reduced as much as possible. An approach for reducing ignition energy is proposed which is the use of proton beam in fast ignition with inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The protons can fuse with ions and produce additional energy. The determination of this energy enhancement and the investigation of influential parameters can have a significant role in increasing energy gain. The stopping power is examined. The produced excess energy and the total energy are estimated. The investigations indicate that total stopping power is a function of proton energy and it decreases with rising temperature. The additional energy depends on the beam energy and the electron temperature. The extra energy gain is considerable at low proton energy and high electron temperature.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48085008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These properties are useful for scientists and nuclear, chemical, and mechanical engineers who analyse experimental data or are involved with projects and equipment development, like heat exchangers, turbines, or nuclear power reactors. The IAPWS-95 formulation solves the fundamental equation of Helmholtz free energy as a function of temperature and density. This paper gives a description of how these equations are solved and exemplifies the use of a package developed for the free platform R. The IAPWS95 package was developed to help users to get access to the IAPWS-95 formulation in a free software environment which is growing exponentially. Transport properties were programmed using other IAPWS releases.

Multi-group constants are applied to the COMSOL model to perform neutronics calculations using finite element method with adaptive mesh refinement. The study found that the calculated effective multiplication factor (keff) compares well with the reference value. Furthermore, the fission rates 3D power distributions and axially averaged 2D power distribution are in good agreements with reported reference results.
