Criticality study of a spent fuel pool using SCALE 6.2.3 and MCNP6.2
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)The North-West University (NWU) through the Reactor Analysis group in UETS plans to conduct research on the spent fuel pool using capabilities of the in-house code, North-West University Reactor Code Suite (NWURCS). Due ... -
Developing a fresh core neutronic model at 300K for a VVER-1000 reactor type using MCNP6
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)A steady state neutronics model for a fresh core Voda Voda Energo Reaktor (VVER)-1000 reactor type is developed using an internationally recognised code, Monte Carlo N-Particle, version 6 (MCNP6). This research study is ... -
Developing a full core model of the North Anna Reactor using SCALE 6.2.3, NESTLE and MCNP 6.2
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)This study presents the development of the modelling for a T-NEWT/NESTLE* lattice-to-nodal diffusion calculation. The reactor selected for this study is the North-Anna (NA) Unit 1 Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) of the ... -
Developing a steady state neutronic model for the PBR-250 HTR using Serpent 2.1.31
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023-10)The PBR-250 reactor is a Generation-IV pebble bed high-temperature reactor with a rating of 250MWth and has the ability to produce electricity and process heat of up to 1000 °C. The most desirable feature of this reactor ... -
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of aspects of the neutronics of a prismatic block-type HTGR
(2019)The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGR) Uncertainty Analysis in Modelling (UAM) has been established aiming to study uncertainty ...
