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 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 ... -
Initial implementation of the neutronics codes DRAGON and DONJON at the North-West University
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The neutronics research group at the North West University plans to use open source neutronics in some of the future research that will be conducted by the group. The open source neutronics codes DRAGON and DONJON were ... -
Neutronic simulation of a European Pressurised Reactor
(2014)The South African government’s integrated resource plan for electricity IRP2010 states that the country plans to have an additional 9.6 GW of nuclear power on the national electricity grid by 2030. In support of this, the ... -
Quantification and propagation of neutronics uncertainties of the Kozloduy-6 VVER-1000 fuel assembly using SCALE 6.2.1 within the NEA/OECD benchmark for uncertainty analysis in modelling of LWRs
(Elsevier, 2019)This work is based on the benchmark for uncertainty analysis in modelling of light water reactors compiled by the Nuclear Energy Agency within the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/NEA). The ...
