Investigation of Neutronic Performance in Fixed Bed Nuclear Reactor (FBNR) With Fuelled (239Pu/Th)O2

15785

In this study, the neutronic performance analysis in a fixed bed modular nuclear reactor (FBNR) was performed. The effect of the (239Pu/Th)O2 mixture fuel of neutronic performance were investigated. Neutronic calculations were conducted by using SCALE5 code. Firstly, criticality (keff) value compared 9 % enrichment UO2 was computed. The mixture fuel ratio was obtained as % 6 239PuO2 + % 94. As a result, the operation times passed until the keff value reached a level of 1.06 was computed as ~ 5 year whereas, the corresponding burnup value wase obtained as ~ 33 000 MWD/T.
