Effect Of U-9mo/Al Fuel Densities On Neutronic And Steady State Thermal Hydraulic Parameters Of Mtr Type Research Reactor
The objectives of this research work are to carry out a detailed neutronic and steady state thermal hydraulics analysis for a MTR research reactor fuelled with the low enrichment U-9Mo/Al dispersion fuels of various uranium densities. The high density uranium fuel will increase the cycle length of the reactor operation and the heat flux in the reactor core. The increasing heat flux at the fuel will causing increase the temperature of the fuel and cladding so that the coolant velocity has to be increased. However, the coolant velocity in the fuel element has a limit value due to the thermal hydraulic stability considerations in the core. Therefore, the neutronic and the steady state thermal hydraulic analysis are important in the design and operation of nuclear reactor safety. The calculations were performed using WIMS-D5 and MTRDYN codes. The WIMS-D5 code used for generating the group constants of all core materials as well as the neutronic and steady state thermal hydraulic parameters were determined by using the MTRDYN code. The calculation results showed that the excess reactivity increases as the uranium density increases since the mass of fuel in the reactor core is increased. Using the critical velocity concept, the maximum coolant velocity at fuel channel is 11.497 m/s. The maximum temperatures of the coolant, cladding and fuel meat with the uranium density of 3,66 g/cc are 70.85°C, 150.79°C and 153.24°C, respectively. The maximum temperatures are fulfilled the design limit so reactor has a safe operation at the nominal power

VALIDATION OF SRAC CODE SYSTEM FOR NEUTRONIC PARAMETERS CALCULATION OF THE PWR MOX/UO2 CORE BENCHMARK
VALIDATION OF SRAC CODE SYSTEM FOR NEUTRONIC PARAMETERS CALCULATION OF THE PWR MOX/UO2 CORE BENCHMARK. Determination of neutronic parameter value is an important part in determining reactor safety, so accurate calculation results can be obtained. This study is focused on the validation of SRAC code system in the calculation of neutronic parameters value of a PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) reactor core. MOX/UO2 Core Benchmark was choosed because it is used by several researchers as a reference core for code validation in the determination of neutronic parameters of a reactor core. The neutronic parameters calculated include critical boron concentration, delayed neutron fraction, and Power Peaking Factor (PPF) and its distribution in axial and radial directions. When compared with reference data, the calculation results of the critical boron concentration value show that there is a difference of 22.5 ppm on SRAC code system. Meanwhile, differences in power per fuel element (assembly power error) value of power-weighted error (PWE) and error-weighted error (EWE) is 2.93% and 3.94%, respectively. Maximum difference between PPF value in axial direction with reference reaches a value of 4.57%. SRAC calculation results also show consistency with the calculation results of other program packages or code. Results of this study indicate that SRAC code system is still quite accurate for the calculation of neutronic parameters of PWR reactor core benchmark. Therefore, SRAC code system can be used to calculate neutronic parameters of PWR reactor core, especially when using MOX (mixed oxide) fuel.

Effect of cross-sections data on calculated static neutronic parameters of PWR MOX/UO2 core transient benchmark case using NODAL3 code
This paper describes the effect of cross-section data generated by several codes on calculated neutronic parameters. The Pressurized Water Reactor Mixed Oxide and Uranium Oxide (PWR MOX/UO2) Core Transient Benchmark case was chosen because it has been used widely to validate neutronic codes. The cross-section data in this study will be generated by SRAC, Serpent, and HELIOS codes. The NODAL3 code will be used to calculate neutronic parameters from each cross-section. The neutronic parameters calculated by NODAL3 are the effective multiplication factor (keff), control rod worth, critical boron concentration, and power distribution under Hot Zero Power (HZP) conditions. The Power-Weighted Error (PWE) and Error-Weighted Error (EWE), as a measure of the relative error in fuel assembly power, are less than 5 %, indicating that the calculation is consistent with DeCART as a reference. The difference in calculated radial power peaking factor for all three cross-sections to reference data reaches 6.284 % (G-3), 8.438 % (G-3), and 10.998 % (C-7), respectively, for SRAC, Serpent, and HELIOS. The axial power distribution calculated by NODAL3 at the top and bottom of the reactor core has a relative error that peaked at 16.60 %, 13.86 %, and 10.20 %, respectively, for cross-sections provided by SRAC, Serpent, and HELIOS. Further improvements are needed for NODAL3 by applying various discontinuity factors to improve its performance
Efek kerapatan bahan bakar U9-Mo/Al pengayaan rendah terhadap parameter kinetik reaktor riset jenis MTR
Abstrak Reaktor riset umumnya memerlukan fluks netron yang tinggi agar iradiasi sampel dalam teras reaktor menjadi efektif. Fasilitas iradiasi tinggi dapat menghasilkan fluks netron tinggi bila reaktor didesain dengan teras kompak menggunakan bahan bakar kerapatan tinggi. Untuk mengetahui efek kerapatan bahan bakar dan reflektor pada parameter kinetik maka dilakukan perhitungan pada desain konsepsual teras reaktor riset inovatif (RRI). Teras RRI adalah teras kompak yang menggunakan bahan bakar U-9Mo/Al kerapatan tinggi sehingga penggunaan bahan bakar lebih ekonomis. Parameter kinetik yang akan dievaluasi dalam makalah ini adalah fraksi netron kasip efektif, umur generasi netron serempak dan konstanta peluruhan netron serempak. Akurasi perhitungan parameter tersebut dipengaruhi oleh dua hal yaitu tersedianya data tampang lintang netron untuk teras reaktor dan pemilihan metode dalam perhitungan parameter teras. Perhitungan sel bahan bakar dan batang kendali pada kondisi operasi reaktor menggunakan program WIMSD/5B. Parameter kinetik dihitung menggunakan program Batan-3DIFF. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa harga umur netron serempak dan fraksi netron kasip berkurang dengan naiknya kerapatan bahan bakar sementara konstanta peluruhan netron serempak naik dengan naiknya kerapatan bahan bakar. Kerapatan bahan bakar 5,34 gU/cm3 dan reflektor D2O mempunyai keselamatan melekat yang paling aman karena mempunyai umur netron serempak dan fraksi netron kasip terbesar. Teras RRI dengan kerapatan 5,34 gU/cm3 dan reflektor D2O menghasilkan fraksi netron kasip sebesar 7,14917E-03 dan umur netron serempak 5,99216E-05 serta konstanta peluruhan netron serempak adalah 119,30 1/s. Kata kunci: kerapatan bahan bakar, parameter kinetik, Batan-3DIFF, reaktor RRI Abstract Research reactors generally require high flux neutron so that samples irradiation in the reactor core becomes effective. In order to be able to provide a high neutron flux in the irradiation facilities then the reactor is designed by a compact core using high density fuel. To see the effect of fuel density and reflector on the kinetic parameter then it has been calculated for the conceptual design of the reactor core RRI. RRI is compact core and uses high density U-9Mo/Al fuel so more economical. Kinetic parameters to be evaluated in this paper is effective delay neutron fraction, promt neutron generation time and promt neutron decay constant. Accuracy of the calculation of these parameters is influenced by two factors that are availability of the neutron cross-sections data and the selection of reactor core parameters calculation method. Calculation of fuel cells and the control rods in the reactor operating conditions were carried out by WIMSD/5B code. Kinetic parameters were calculated using the Batan-3DIFF code. The results showed that the effective delay neutron fraction, prompt neutron generation time decreases while promt neutron decay constant increase with increasing density of the fuel. Density of the fuel 5.34 gU/cm3 and D2O reflector have inherent safety of the safest because effective delay neutron fraction and promt neutron generation time are at the largest. RRI core using fuel density 5.34 gU/cm3 and D2O reflector showed results of effective delay neutron fraction is 7.14917 E-03, prompt neutron generation time is 5.99216 E-05 s and promt neutron decay constant is 119.30 1/s.

CALCULATION OF 2-DIMENSIONAL PWR MOX/UO2 CORE BENCHMARK OECD NEA 6048 WITH SRAC CODE
The mixed uranium-plutonium oxide fuel (MOX/UO2) is an interesting fuel for future power reactors. This is due to the large amount of plutonium that can be processed from spent fuel of nuclear plants or from plutonium weapons. MOX/UO2 fuel is very flexible to be applied in thermal reactors such as PWR and it is more economical than UO2 fuel. However, due to the different nature of neutron interactions of MOX in PWR, it will change the reactor core design parameters and also its safety characteristic. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of SRAC2006 code system in generation of cross-sections and calculation of reactor core design parameters such as criticality, reactivity of control rods and radial power distribution. In this study, PWR MOX/UO2 Core Transient Benchmark is used to verify the code that models a MOX/UO2 fueled core. SRAC-CITATION result is different from DeCART by 0.339% from. SRAC-CITATION result of single rod worth in All Rods Out (ARO) conditions are quite good with a maximum difference of 6.34% compared to BARS code and 4.74% compared to PARCS code. In All Rods In (ARI) condition, SRAC-CITATION results compared to the PARCS code is quite good where the maximum difference is 9.72%, but compared to BARS code, it spikes up to 33.24% at maximum difference. In the other case, overall radial power density results are quite good compared to the reference. Its maximum deviation from DeCART code is 5.325% in ARO condition and 6.234% in ARI condition. Based on the results of these calculations, SRAC code system can be used to generate cross-section and to calculate some neutronic parameters. Hence, it can be used to evaluate the neutronic parameters of the MOX/UO2 PWR core design.Keywords: MOX/UO2 fuel, Criticality, Power peaking factor, SRAC200

DESIGN OF NEUTRONIC PARAMETERS OF MTR REACTOR USING WIMSD-5B/BATAN-FUEL CODES
BATAN has three aging research reactors, so it is necessary to design a new, more modern MTR type reactor using high-density, low enrichment uranium molybdenum fuel. The thermal neutron flux at the irradiation position is an important concern in the design of research reactors. This analysis is performed using standard computer codes WIMSD-5B and Batan-FUEL. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the core configuration with safety control rods and neutronic parameters using the diffusion method calculation. The reactor core consists of 16 fuel elements and four control rods placed in the 5 x 5 position of the grid plate and is loaded the reflector elements outside the core. The cycle length is also a concern, not less than 20 days, and the reactor can be operated safely with a power of 50 MW. The calculation results show that for the highest fuel loading, which is 450 grams of U7Mo/Al fuel with D2O as a reflector, it will provide the lowest thermal neutron flux at the center of the core irradiation position, namely 1.0 x1015 n/cm2s. The core fuel cycle length will be up to 39 days, meeting the expected acceptance and safety criteria
ANALYSIS OF REACTIVITY COEFFICIENT CHANGE DUE TO BURN UP IN AP1000 REACTOR CORE USING NODAL3
One of the important things in reactor safety is the value of inherent safety parameter namely reactivity coefficient. These inherent safety parameters are fuel and moderator temperature coefficients of reactivity. The objective of the study is to obtain the change of those reactivity coefficients as a function of fuel burn up during the cycle operation of AP 1000 reactor core. Fuel and moderator temperature coefficients of reactivity and in addition moderator density coefficient of reactivity were calculated using SRAC 2006 and NODAL3 computer codes. Cross section generation of all core material was done by SRAC 2006 Code. The calculation of core reactivity as a function of temperature and burn up were carried out using NODAL3 Code. The results show that all reactivity coefficients of AP 1000 reactor core are always negative during the operation cycles and the values are in a good agreement to the design. It can be concluded that the AP 1000 core has a good inherent safety of its fuelKeywords: reactivity coefficient, burn up, AP1000, NODAL3.

VALIDATION OF FULL CORE GEOMETRY MODEL OF THE NODAL3 CODE IN THE PWR TRANSIENT BENCHMARK PROBLEMS
ABSTRACT VALIDATION OF FULL CORE GEOMETRY MODEL OF THE NODAL3 CODE IN THE PWR TRANSIENT BENCHMARK PROBLEMS. The coupled neutronic and thermal-hydraulic (T/H) code, NODAL3 code, has been validated in some PWR static benchmark and the NEACRP PWR transient benchmark cases. However, the NODAL3 code have not yet validated in the transient benchmark cases of a control rod assembly (CR) ejection at peripheral core using a full core geometry model, the C1 and C2 cases. By this research work, the accuracy of the NODAL3 code for one CR ejection or the unsymmetrical group of CRs ejection case can be validated. The calculations by the NODAL3 code have been carried out by the adiabatic method (AM) and the improved quasistatic method (IQS). All calculated transient parameters by the NODAL3 code were compared with the reference results by the PANTHER code. The maximum relative difference of 16% occurs in the calculated time of power maximum parameter by using the IQS method, while the relative difference of the AM method is 4% for C2 case. All calculation results by the NODAL3 code shows there is no systematic difference, it means the neutronic and T/H modules are adopted in the code are considered correct. Therefore, all calculation results by using the NODAL3 code are very good agreement with the reference results. Keywords: nodal method, coupled neutronic and thermal-hydraulic code, PWR, transient case, control rod ejection. ABSTRAK VALIDASI MODEL GEOMETRI TERAS PENUH PAKET PROGRAM NODAL3 DALAM PROBLEM BENCHMARK GAYUT WAKTU PWR. Paket program kopel neutronik dan termohidraulika (T/H), NODAL3, telah divalidasi dengan beberapa kasus benchmark statis PWR dan kasus benchmark gayut waktu PWR NEACRP. Akan tetapi, paket program NODAL3 belum divalidasi dalam kasus benchmark gayut waktu akibat penarikan sebuah perangkat batang kendali (CR) di tepi teras menggunakan model geometri teras penuh, yaitu kasus C1 dan C2. Dengan penelitian ini, akurasi paket program NODAL3 untuk kasus penarikan sebuah CR atau sekelompok CR yang tidak-simetris dapat divalidasi. Perhitungan paket program NODAL3 dilakukan dengan metode adiabatic (AM) dan improved quasistatic (IQS). Seluruh parameter gayut waktu hasil perhitungan paket program NODAL3 dibandingkan dengan hasil acuan dengan paket program PANTHER. Perbedaan relatif maksimum sebesar 16% terjadi dalam perhitungan parameter waktu daya maksimum dengan metode IQS pada kasus C2, sedangkan perbedaan relatif dengan metode AM adalah 4%. Seluruh hasil perhitungan dengan paket program NODAL3 menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan yang sistematis, berarti modul neutronik dan T/H yang diadopsi di NODAL3 sudah benar. Oleh karena itu, seluruh perhitungan dengan paket program NODAL3 sangat sesuai dengan hasil acuan.
