This paper shows some results obtained through simulating a VVER-1000 mock-up installed within the LR-0 research reactor in the Research Centre Řež (Czech Republic): the simulations have been performed by using the Serpent 2 and MCNP6... more
The fusion-fission hybrid reactor is a promising technology that is likely to assume an increasingly important role in the global energy scene in the coming years. This kind of reactor can use both the nuclear fusion and fission processes... more
The use of passive gamma and neutron signatures from fission indicators is a common means 6 of estimating used fuel burnup, enrichment, and cooling time. However, while characteristic fission 7 product signatures such as 134 Cs, 137 Cs,... more
BREEDING CAPABILITY OF URANIUM AND THORIUM FUEL CYCLES FOR WATER COOLED REACTORS. Nuclear energy has contributed to fulfill the world energy demand especially in relation to the sustainable development of the world without any greenhouse... more
Abstract The core concept of simultaneous transmutation of six long-lived fission products (LLFP: 79 Se, 93 Zr, 99 Tc, 107 Pd, 129 I, and 135 Cs) was investigated using MONJU fast reactor by maintaining all 6 LLFP nuclides support ratios... more
Fuel burnup analysis requires a high computational cost for full core calculations, due to the amount of the information processed for the total reaction rates in many burnup regions. Indeed, they reach the order of millions or more by a... more
In this research work pure urania and urania-gadolonia (5 and 10%) fuels were first produced by sol-gel technique. The effects of some operational parameters such as grinding, use of binder, compaction pressure, and reduction temperature... more
