Analysis of Power Peaking Factors of 3 MW Triga Mark-Ii Research Reactor Using the Deterministic Diffusion Code SRAC-Citation
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the power peaking factors of 3 MW TRIGA Mark-II research reactor based on diffusion method. Power peaking factors are necessary for safe operation of nuclear reactor and they are one of the most important core safety parameters of nuclear reactor. The most important power peaking factors are the hot rod power peaking factor ( ,)ࡾࡴࢌthe axial power peaking factor ( ,)ࢆࢌthe radial power peaking factor ( )ࡾࢌand the total power peaking factor (.)ࢀࢌ These factors are calculated using the 3-D diffusion code SRAC-CITATION of the comprehensive neutronics calculation code system SRAC2006 based on the evaluated nuclear data libraries JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VII.0 respectively. The calculated results are compared to the available safety analysis report (SAR) values of 3 MW TRIGA Mark-II reactor by General Atomic as well as the MCNP4C results based on the evaluated nuclear data library ENDL/B-VI. It was found that the calculated results are well consistent between the said libraries as well as the SAR values and the MCNP4C results respectively. Therefore, this analysis will be important to improve the power peaking factors data as the core safety parameters of 3 MW TRIGA Mark-II research reactor, AERE, Dhaka, Bangladesh for its safe operation.
