Neutronic Analysis of Horizontal-Compact High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor
… in steady-state calculation. Depletion analysis was modeled to ensure the reliability of the new fuel enrichment pattern. The first cycle core sustained criticality for 2.37 years with an average enrichment of 15.5% which meets the design target goal of 2 years cycle length. Overall, the …

Neutronic analysis of selected fuel assemblies of the MIT BEAVRS benchmark using HEADE collision probability code
Neutronic models for fresh core fuel assemblies of the MIT BEAVRS benchmark are developed using the HEADE collision probability code which is a module of the OSCAR-4 code used for research reactor calculations. This research study is based on the MIT BEAVRS benchmark, which is a specification of a …

An evolutionary fuel assembly design for high power density BWRs
… The findings are as follows: - VIPRE subchannel analysis suggests that, due to its higher fuel to coolant heat transfer area and coolant flow area, the large assembly can operate at a power density 20% higher than the traditional assembly while maintaining the same margin to dryout. - CASMO 2D …

Optimization of a seed and blanket thorium-uranium fuel cycle for pressurized water reactors
… by well known tools in the nuclear industry. The neutronic analysis was performed using the Studsvik Core Management System (CMS), which consists of three codes: CASMO-4, TABLES-3 and SIMULATE-3. Thermal-hydraulic analysis was performed using EPRI's VIPRE-01.

LEU+ Fuel Cycle Investigation of the BWRX-300 Design Using Neutronic and Two-Phase Thermal Hydraulic Analyses
… of modeling tools available to represent neutronic and thermal hydraulic conditions respectively. When performing coupled calculations between these two codes, large computational cost is seen, especially in neutronic burnup calculations in three dimensions. The main challenge when …
