Abstract

Comparative Analysis of Hexagonal and Square GFR Fuel Pin Geometry Designs with Uranium Carbide Fuel has been carried out. Nuclear reactors from Generation I to IV have developed significantly, with Gas-cooled Fast Reactors (GFR) being a potential candidate for operation by 2030. This study focuses on a GFR reactor utilizing uranium carbide (UC) fuel with a low input power of 300 MWth. The reactor core adopts a cylindrical pancake geometry with 100 cm height and 240 cm diameter dimensions. The objective is to compare the optimal design between hexagonal and square pin cell geometries for GFR-type fast reactors. The study employs the SRAC 2006 software with the JENDL 4.0 database. The research involves homogenous core configuration calculations, heterogeneous core configuration calculations, and variations in fuel fraction to determine optimal data for hexagonal and square pin cell configurations. Results indicate that heterogeneous fuel configurations require fuel fractions of 51% for hexagonal pins and 59% for square pins, with comparable maximum power performance at End of Life (EOL) and Beginning of Life (BOL). It suggests that hexagonal pins are more efficient, requiring less fuel material to maintain reactor criticality over a 20-period burn-up.

Abstract

Atomistic simulation based on computational physics of methods is used to develop accurate interatomic potentials based on DFT (density functional theory) data. The accuracy of predicting the physical properties of a material is highly dependent on the quality of the interatomic potential used. The purpose of this study is to determine the Lennard-Jones potential parameters of Al metal (epsilon and sigma) from fitting the DFT simulation output data. The use of a “robust” fitting method to reduce the influence of outliers on the potential results is very important and therefore a machine learning method is used to help find the right potential parameters. The method used is a hybrid method using DFT to generate training data, using ML (machine learning) to fit DFT data to the Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential model, and using the MD (molecular dynamics) method to validate the LJ potential parameters. Python-based programming is applied to facilitate how the three methods can be connected. The results of this study are that Al metal has an epsilon value = 0.5000 eV and sigma Al = 3.2072 Å, with a regression coefficient R2 = 0.9441 so that it can be concluded that this study can be said to be quite good and the hybrid method can be further developed to obtain the LJ potential parameter values of various other materials, especially metals.
