Title: | Power Flattening in Aries-Rs Fusion Breeder Reactor Using Mixed Fuels | Authors: | Übeyli, Mustafa | Keywords: | power flattening fissile fuel breeding hybrid reactor |
Publisher: | Springer | Abstract: | This study presents the possibility of the power flattening in the ARIES-RS breeder reactor using mixed (Th,U)C or (Th,U)N fuels. Two different types of mixing, namely, homogeneous mixing (HM) and linear mixing (LM) were used to investigate the uniformity of fission power distribution through the fuel zone. In HM, fraction of uranium content were kept constant in all rows of the fuel zone whereas, in LM the fraction of the uranium were linearly increased from the first to last fuel row in the fuel zone. Neutron transport calculations were performed with the aid of the SCALE4.3 system by solving the Boltzmann transport equation with the XSDRNPM code in 238 neutron groups and a S-8-P-3 approximation. Flat fission power distribution was maintained successfully for the blanket using linearly mixed fuels. However, the fission density profile was not uniform in the blanket with homogeneously mixed fuels. It decreased exponentially form the 1st to 10th fuel row. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1007/s10894-005-5618-8 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11851/7298 |
