Abstract

Molten salt reactor (MSR) is often associated with thorium fuel cycle, thanks to its excellent neutron economy and online reprocessing capability. However, since 233U, the fissile used in pure thorium fuel cycle, is not commercially available, the MSR must be started with other fissile nuclides. Different fissile yields different inherent safety characteristics, and thus must be assessed accordingly. This paper investigates the inherent safety aspects of one fluid MSR (OF-MSR) using various fissile fuel, namely low-enriched uranium (LEU), reactor grade plutonium (RGPu), and reactor grade plutonium + minor actinides (PuMA). The calculation was performed using MCNPX2.6.0 programme with ENDF/B-VII library. Parameters assessed are temperature coefficient of reactivity (TCR) and void coefficient of reactivity (VCR). The result shows that TCR for LEU, RGPu, and PuMA are -3.13 pcm, -2.02 pcm and -1.79 pcm, respectively. Meanwhile, the VCR is negative only for LEU, whilst RGPu and PuMA suffer from positive void reactivity. Therefore, for the OF-MSR design used in this study, LEU is the only safe option as OF-MSR starting fuel.Keywords: MSR, Temperature coefficient of reactivity, Void coefficient of reactivity, Low enriched uranium, Reactor grade plutonium, Minor actinides

Abstract

One of the barriers on the implementation of nuclear energy in Indonesia is public perception towards the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Therefore, it is necessary to perform a study about the radiation impact of normal and abnormal operations of an NPP. In accordance to the program of Ministry of Research and Technology period 2020-2024, concerning the plan to build a small modular reactor (SMR)-type NPP, a radiation safety study has been performed for the 100 MWe Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR-100MWe). Source term release of radioactive substances into the environment from PWR-100MWe is a starting point in the study of the radiological consequences of reactor operation. Therefore, this paper will examine the PWR-100MWe source term under normal and abnormal operating conditions, according to the design and the design basis accident (DBA). The initial trigger of the DBA is Lost of Coolant Accident (LOCA) such as Small LOCA and Large LOCA.  Due to the limitations of available SMR data, the study of PWR-100MWe source term refers to the assumption of the release fraction of fission products per subsystem in a larger 1000MWe PWR. It is expected from this assumption that pessimistic source term will be obtained. The study begins with calculation of PWR-100MWe core inventory using ORIGEN2 code based on PWR-100MWe reactor parameters. Through the mechanistic source term model and PWR-1000MWe release parameters, source terms will be obtained for normal operation and abnormal conditions i.e. DBA. Normal source term is used to calculate the consequences of normal operation, which will be used for environmental monitoring and environmental safety analysis of the site. Whereas accident source term is the basis for calculating the radiological consequences of accidents used for SAR documents and nuclear preparedness.Keywords: SMR, PWR-100MWe, normal operation, source term, accident

Abstract

The reactivity value of the Bandung TRIGA 2000 reactor core has decreased over time, so the power generated by the reactor is also getting smaller, despite the control rod position is fully withdrawn. Therefore, it is necessary to reshuffle and refuel the fuel element to increase the excess reactivity by considering the safety parameters, such as axial and radial power peaking factors, DNBR, dTsat, and temperature on the cladding and in the center of the fuel element. The analyzed reactor safety parameters are the number of fuel elements, which varied at 105, 110, and 115 elements, as well as power peaking factor, which varied at 1.55, 1.65, 1.75, 1.85, and 1.95. The calculations were done using MCNP and COOLOD-N2 programs. If DNBR ≈ 1.3 is determined as the safety limit for the operation of the Bandung TRIGA 2000 reactor, at PPF 1.95 (105, 110, and 115 fuel elements), it can be considered to operate the reactor at the power of 600-700 kW. However, at PPF of 1.75 (105, 110, and 115 fuel elements), the reactor can be operated at the power of 700-800 kW, and at PPF of 1.55 (105, 110, and 115 fuel elements), the reactor can be considered for operation at the power of 800-900 kW. The results of these calculations can be used for consideration in determining the operating limits of the Bandung TRIGA 2000 reactor.Keywords: TRIGA 2000, fuel element, power peaking factor, DNBR, boiling

Abstract

Bandung TRIGA2000 Reactor, a General Atomic (GA)-made research reactor used for training, research andiIsotope production, has been upgraded to operate at power of 2000 kW using TRIGA fuel rod type. Recently, the TRIGA reactor fuel element producers are going to discontinue the production of TRIGA fuel element. To overcome the unavailability of TRIGA fuel element, BATAN planned to modify TRIGA2000 fuel type from rod-type to U3Si2-Al plate-type fuel with 19.75% enrichment, similar to the domestically fabricated one used in RSG-GAS. The carried out design emphasized on the determination of operation condition limits for setting the reactor protection system in accordance to the reactor safety calculation results. The conceptual design of the innovative fuel plate TRIGA reactor cooling system is expected to remove heat generated by fuels with nominal power of 1 MW up to 2 MW. The design is developed through modelling and safety analysis using COOLOD-N2 validated code. The safety margin is set to its flow instability at transient condition of the fuel plate, which is ≥ 2.38; departure from nucleate boiling ratio ≥1.50; and no onset of nucleate boiling, ΔTONB ≥ 0oC. The primary coolant flow rate accommodating the existing Bandung TRIGA reactor capability is as high as 50 kg/s. The analysis results show that at power of 1 MW, the reactor can safely operate, while at power of 2 MW the safety margin is exceeded. In other words, the plate TRIGA reactor that employs forced convection mode operates safely at 1 MW with excess power 120% of its nominal power.Keywords: 1 MW, Thermalhydraulic design, Steady state condition, TRIGA plate, Constant flowrate

Abstract

The power reactor with high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) technology uses uranium as the reactor fuel. The energy from fission is converted to electrical energy or used for other needs such as hydrogen production or other research activities at high temperatures of around 700 °C. This operation does not allow the use of metal as the core material for the reactor. The material that fits the requirements as a core structure is graphite. Graphite material has specific characteristics, namely the parameters of the modulus of elasticity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and the volume which changes due to temperature and neutron dose. Because the structure of the reactor core is a vital component in the reactor, this research will develop a method for the design of the reactor core structure with graphite material. The design method is based on "Design by Analysis" which specifically refers to the strain analysis on each of the reactor core components. The design method developed is based on the finite element method. The object of this research is the side reflector made from the Toyo Tanso IG-110 series graphite. Based on the analysis of heat distribution and heat stress for the material before the effect of neutron exposure, the temperature distribution on the side reflector was found, as well as the displacement and heat stress that occurs. isotropic properties, Young's modulus and Poisson’s ratio values can be verified and estimated. The purpose of this research is to analyze the strain of the reactor core structure by taking into account the uncertainty of the graphite properties.

Abstract

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, SRAC2006

Abstract

Liver cancer was the third leading cause of death from cancer in 2020 with 830,180 deaths worldwide. Radiotherapy is a common treatment method for liver cancer. Technological advances presented proton therapy and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as alternatives with a lower dose on healthy organs. The objective of this research is to get a good dose distribution with higher tumor dose and lower healthy organ dose in proton therapy. A comparison with BNCT is done to get a better understanding of how both methods deliver the dose to treat the cancer while minimizing healthy organ doses. The research simulated proton therapy for cancer liver with Particle and Heavy Ions Transport Code System (PHITS), and a literature review for BNCT. The effectiveness of both methods were compared by tumor dose and liver dose. The optimal tumor dose for proton therapy is 86.01 Gy (W) with 0.67 Gy (W) liver dose. Proton therapy can replace conventional radiotherapy for tumors with complex shapes in dose delivery by utilizing its dose profile, while BNCT can give better tumor control on patients previously treated with conventional radiotherapy.

Abstract

High Resolution Powder Diffractometer (HRPD) and Four Circle Diffractometer/Texture Diffractometer (FCD/TD) are two BATAN-owned neutron diffractometers which have been fully operational since 1992. These are used to investigate structure and texture of crystalline materials, respectively. Before analyzing, the acquired raw neutron diffraction data should first be processed in a specific way to achieve the suitable data format required by the analysis software. This data processing step is a repetitive task for every single experiment which is previously done manually and very time-consuming. The purpose of this development project was to optimize this step to be fully automatic and executable by a code. This work was performed by means of Python code utilizing the array manipulation in re-arranging and re-formatting the raw data. The resulted Python codes were named as hrpd.py and fcdtd.py. These have been successfully done and validated, making data processing step easier, simpler, and significantly faster with only 20 seconds or less required.Keywords: HRPD, FCD/TD, Automatic Data Processing, Neutron Diffraction, Python

Abstract

Analysis of the control rod insertion is important as it is closely related to reactor safety. Previously, the analysis has been carried out in RSG-GAS during static condition, not as a function of the fuel fraction. The RSG-GAS reactor in one cycle is a function of the fuel burn-up. It is necessary to analyze RSG-GAS core reactivity insertion as a function of the fuel burn-up to determine the behavior of the reactor, especially in uncontrolled operations such as continuous pulling of control rods. This analysis is carried out by the computer simulation method using WIMSD-5B and MTR-DYN codes, by observing power behavior as a function of time due to neutron chain reactions in the reactor core. Calculations are performed using point kinetics equation, and the feedback effect will be evaluated using static power coefficient and fuel burn-up function. Analyzes were performed for the core configuration of the core no. 99, by lifting the control rod or inserting positive reactivity to the core. The calculation results show that with the reactivity insertion of 0.5% Δk/k at start-up power of 1 W and 1 MW, safety limit is not exceeded either at the beginning, middle, or end of the cycle. The maximum temperature of the fuel is 135°C while the safety limit is 180°C. The margin from the safety limit is large, and therefore fuel damage is not possible when power excursion were to occur.

Abstract

Kartini Research Reactor, which is situated in Yogyakarta, is a 100 kW TRIGA (Training, Research, and Isotope Production by General Atomic)-type reactor mainly used for educational and training purposes. A system for remote learning on nuclear reactor physics named the Internet Rector Laboratory has been developed and is fully operational since 2019. To enrich its curriculum, a new practicum module has been developed, that can be immediately implemented and does not require any additional equipment or materials. To ensure safety in reactor kinetics and radiation protection, a safety analysis on the implementation of the practicum module has been conducted using MCNP and ORIGEN utilizing the current conditions of the reactor regarding its fuel burnup and control rod positions at a certain power level. Based on the results of the analysis, the practicum is safe to perform from a neutronic and radiation protection perspective. Given the long half-life and the large amount of radiation exposure that comes from activation products of iron, it is recommended that only cadmium, boron, graphite, and aluminum are allowed to be irradiated during the practicum.Keywords: Internet Reactor Laboratory, Activation Product, Radiation Protection, Reactor Safety
