Abstract

Analysis of fuel volume fraction with uranium caride fuel in Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) with SRAC Code is has been done. The calculation used SRAC Code (Standard Reactor Analysis Code) which is developed by JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency), and the data libraries nuclear used JENDL 4.0. There are two calculation has been used, fuel pin cell calculation (PIJ Calculation) and core calculation (CITATION Calculation). In core calculation, the leakage is calculated so the calculation more precise. The CITATION calculation use two type of core configuration, i.e. homogeneous core configuration and heterogeneous core configuration. The power density value of two type core configuration is quite difference. It is better use heterogeneous core configuration than homogeneous core configuration, because the power density of heterogeneous core configuration is flatter than the other. From the analysis of fuel volume fraction, when the volume fraction is increase, the k-eff value is increase. And the optimum design after has been analysis for fuel volume fraction, that is the fuel volume fraction is 49% with a heterogeneous core configuration of three types of fuel percentages, for Fuel1 9%, Fuel2 12% and Fuel3 15%. This reactor is cylindrical, has a core diameter of 240 cm and a core height of 100 cm.

Abstract

This study focused on a conceptual core configuration of Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GFR), as part of a generation IV reactor. Uranium-plutonium carbide (UC-PuC) was used as reactor fuel and a Monte Carlo simulation method using OpenMC has been carried out. This study aims to find the composition of uranium-plutonium carbide fuel to use inside a fuel pin, making up a hexagonal prism fuel assembly arranged to form an entire core. A homogeneous and heterogeneous core configuration was considered in this study, while the plutonium percentage varied from 8%- 15%. For the homogenous core configuration, 10% was found as the optimum plutonium fraction with the value of %∆k/k =1, which was then used as a reference to make up a heterogeneous core configuration. A heterogeneous core with 3 radial fuel regions of F1 using 9% Pu fraction, F2 10%, and F3 11% showed the most stable result for 5-year burn-up with a %∆k/k of 0.7. The %∆k/k value was decreased by 0.3 due to the fission reaction that occurred more evenly in all 3 fuel regions of heterogeneous configuration, reducing the core power peaking factor. Keywords: Core configuration, GFR, OpenMC, Reactivity, Fission reaction
