Assessing the effect of using supercells instead of lattice blocks on multigroup cross sections of the MHTGR-350 reactor
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis methods are essential in nuclear reactor design and safety. These methods can be used to predict the probability distributions in output parameters, treat discreet events and handle ... -
Deep burn strategy for the optimized incineration of reactor waste plutonium in pebble bed high temperature gas–cooled reactors
(North-West University, 2012)In this thesis advanced fuel cycles for the incineration, i.e. deep–burn, of weapons–grade plutonium, reactor–grade plutonium from pressurised light water reactors and reactor–grade plutonium + the associated Minor Actinides ... -
Evaluation of the neutronic boundary conditions used in the diffusion analysis model of the PBMR core
(North-West University, 2006)The definition of boundary conditions are an important part of all core neutronics models. In the CITATION model, used as part of the VSOP core simulation, the neutronic boundary condition is defined in terms of an extrapolation ... -
Neutronics and fuel performance analysis of TRISO-based accident tolerant fuel for PWRs
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)South Africa has one nuclear power plant in Cape Town called the Koeberg nuclear power station. This power station still uses conventional uranium dioxide fuel pellets and zirconium cladding. Since the Fukushima-Daiichi ... -
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 ...
