2. Enhancing Neutronic Performance: A Comparative Study of Reflectors in Radially and Axially Heterogeneous Cores for ABR-1000 Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor
Project Team:
PI: Md. Tanvir Ahmed
Thesis Student: Md. Hasebul Hasan Niloy
Project Description: It’s a simulation project where the effectiveness of different reflective materials such as pure lead, Ba2Pb, BeO, SiC, PbO, Graphite, HT9, and Zr3Si2 will be studied to find the optimal reflector for the Radially and Axially Heterogeneous Cores for ABR-1000 Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor. OpenMC with ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data will be used to conduct the project. The study will include:
Depletion analysis for several reflector materials.
Flux distribution for various reflector materials at the beginning of life (BOL) and the end of life (EOL).
Fission rate distribution for various reflector materials at BOL and EOL.
The evolution of toxic and fissile isotopes for various reflector materials.
Total neutron leakage for various materials used as reflectors.
Axial flux distribution for various reflector materials at BOL and EOL.
