1. 1. BWR In-Core Instrumentation Sensitivity to Material and Geometrical Distortions

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Mikael Nivala Fernberg; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Several BWR utilities are adopting practices for determining the state of control rods based on the neutron sensitive LPRM and gamma sensitive TIP measurement systems of the nuclear reactor core. This method is in this study evaluated by quantitatively analyzing the detector sensitivity to several material and geometrical distortions in the detector vicinity, using the Los Alamos National Laboratory stochastic Monte Carlo code MCNP5 and the Westinghouse 3D core simulator POLCA7.

4. 3. Upgrade and validation of PHX2MCNP for criticality analysis calculations for spent fuel storage pools

   University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Cecilia Larsson; [2010]
   Keywords : criticality; safety analysis; validation;

   Abstract : A few years ago Westinghouse started the development of a new method for criticality calculations for spent nuclear fuel storage pools called “PHOENIX-to–MCNP” (PHX2MCNP). PHX2MCNP transfers burn-up data from the code PHOENIX to use in MCNP in order to calculate the criticality. READ MORE
