Abstract

The Fuel Temperature Reactivity Coefficient (FTRC) is an important parameter in design, control, and safety, particularly in PWR reactor. It is then very important to validate any new library for an accurate prediction of this parameter. The objective of this work is to determine the value of the FTRC parameter using the new WIMDS library based on ENDF/BVIII.0 nuclear data files. For this purpose, it is used a set of light water moderated lattice experiments as the PWR-1175 MWe experiment critical reactors, the reactor using UO2 fuel pellet. The analysis is used with WIMSD-5B lattice code with original cross-section libraries and WIMSD-5B with ENDF/B-VIII.0 new cross-section libraries. The results showed that the fuel temperatures reactivity coefficients for the PWR reactor using original libraries is – 3.10 pcm/K with enrichment of 3.1% but for ENDF/B-VlII.0 libraries is – 3.00 pcm/K. Compared to the experimental data of the reactor core, the difference is in the range of 6.9 % for ENDF/B-VIII.0 libraries. It can be concluded that for the reactor, it is better to use ENDF/B-VIII.0 libraries because the original library is not accurate anymore.

Abstract

A thorium-fueled benchmark comparison was made in this study between state-of-the-art codes, WIMSD-5B code to MOCUP (MCNP4B + ORIGEN2), and CASMO-4 for burnup calculations as part of efforts to examine the possible benefits of using thorium in PWR fuel. WIMSD-5B calculations employ the same model as a reference, MOCUP, and CASMO, however, there are some variances in methodology and cross-section libraries. On a PWR pin cell model, eigenvalue and isotope concentrations were examined up to high burnup. The eigenvalue comparison as a function of burnup is good, with a maximum difference of less than 5% and an average absolute difference of less than 1%. The isotope concentration comparisons outperform a set of ThO2-UO2 fuel benchmarks and are comparable to a set of uranium fuel benchmarks previously published in the literature. As a function, the eigenvalue comparison The actinide and fission product data sources for a typical thorium fuel are reported in the WIMSD-5B burnup calculations. The reasons for discrepancies in coding are examined and explored.Keywords: Thorium, PWR Fuel, Burn up, Pin Cell, WIMSD-5B

Abstract

The calculation of safety parameters in nuclear reactors has an important influence on nuclear reactor control and safety. The infinite multiplication factor, reactivity coefficients, and power peaking factor parameters are the most important safety parameters for determining reactor status. The aim of the present study is to analyze the behavior of the nuclear safety parameters for the VVER-1200 core in a normal state of reactor operation. A lattice cell fuel model of the VVER-1200 reactor core was performed using WIMSD-5B. The cross-section library data based on the ENDF/B-VIII.0 was used. The investigated parameters were the value of infinite multiplication factor with different pitch, temperature, enrichment, and boron concentration.  The calculation also investigated the reactivity coefficient parameters. The verification of WIMS model VVER-1200 was performed by comparing the results of the WIMSD-5B code with VVER-1200 data in the SAR document, and it was implied that they are in good agreement. The calculated values of reactivity coefficients illustrated a safe behavior.
