FMSR: A code system for in-core fuel management calculation of aqueous homogeneous solution reactor Original Research Article

Aqueous homogeneous solution reactor is a promising concept for the production of medical isotopes. But some characteristics of aqueous solution reactors, such as no traditional assembly in the core, the gas bubbles’ generation in fuel solution, isotopes distillation, unstructured geometry, strong anisotropic scattering, etc., make the fuel management calculation very complicated. This study establishes a suitable calculation model for aqueous homogeneous solution reactors and developed an in-core fuel management calculation code FMSR (Fuel Management for Solution Reactors) based on the 3D transport solver DNTR. Numerical results indicate that FMSR can be used for the fuel management calculation of homogeneous aqueous solution reactor as a trial.
