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 MCNP6 and RELAP5 model of the European pressurized reactor using NWURCS
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The European pressurized reactor (EPR) is classified as a Generation III+ reactor. It differs from a conventional pressurized water reactor in many aspects, one of which is the core design. This evolutionary reactor lends ... -
Developing skills for neutronic modelling of nuclear power reactors in South Africa
(2016)In recent years, due to economic and social infrastructure development and growth, South Africa has been facing growth in energy demand. Addressing this demand includes building more coal power stations, however with ... -
Neutronic design of homogeneous thorium/uranium fuel for 24 month fuel cycles in the European pressurized reactor using MCNP6
(Elsevier, 2018)A new approach to designing thorium based fuels for a European pressurized reactor (EPR) core is introduced by considering a three dimensional full core MCNP6 model. Existing information on designing thorium/uranium fuel ...
