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

GFR is a generation IV reactor based on helium gas refrigeration capable of working at very high temperatures. The fast spectrum in this reactor makes it possible to use nitride-based fuel, namely Uranium Plutonium Nitride (UN-PuN). Adding minor actinide (MA) material to the primary fuel, UN-PuN can maximize reactor performance to near critical from the beginning to the end of burn-up. This study aims to analyze the effect of adding MA fuel rods to the heterogeneous core of 5 fuel variations (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5) on the probability of radiopharmaceutical waste production. The method in this research is to place MA fuel rods in this study using four designs based on the highest neutron flux value in one fuel assembly. The results of the neutron flux calculation show that the reactor’s active core’s central region (F1, F2, F3) needs to be added to MA fuel rods so that the resulting flux is more evenly distributed. The calculation of reactor criticality shows that Np fuel rod design 4 and Am fuel rod design 1 have the best keff value (keff ≈ 1) among other designs. The burn-up of MA fuel rods produces a minimal probability of producing Tc99m, Sr89, Y90, Rh105, Ag111, I231, and Sm15 radiopharmaceutical waste, even less than 1 kg.

Abstract

The TRIGA 2000 Bandung research reactor, a TRIGA MARK II type that has been operating critically since 1946, has experienced a significant decrease in criticality. This prompted researchers to implement a reshuffling scheme of 111 fuel elements to optimize burn-up throughout the reactor core area. Burn-up analysis of the TRIGA 2000 Bandung fuel elements has been carried out. This analysis aims to determine the burn-up capability and isotope production of each individual fuel element. The calculation uses the Monte Carlo-based OpenMC code that has gone through the verification and validation (V&V) stage based on the results of the MCNP simulation at 60% control rod withdrawal. Furthermore, the reactor power is varied by 100kW-500kW to see the reactor's ability to maintain criticality (k-eff) and obtain very small excess reactivity (ρ). The calculation of k-eff and ρ for 1 year (12 months) is applied in 2 ways, namely 5 hours per week and real-time. The results of real-time operations can optimize burn-up to near the critical point. The greater the power, the greater the number of neutrons for fission, thus accelerating the consumption of fissile material. The power of 200 kW was chosen for further analysis because at the end of the burn-up, the k-eff and ρ values ​​approached the critical point. The results of the percentage of U-235 and U-238 burn-up to be greater in the middle area of ​​the reactor core (ring B) and consistently decreased towards the edge of the reactor core (ring G). As a result, the mass production of Pu-239 was also very high in the ring B area. This also happened to toxic isotopes such as Sm-149, Xe-133, Xe-135 which tended to be high in that area. The high burn-up rate and isotope production became a reference for future research to apply the reshuffling concept to the TRIGA 2000 Bandung reactor core
