A two-group study on the gadolinium particle depletion in light water reactor fuel rods

Creator:

Lee, Chungchan

Abstract:

The effect of gadolinia particles on the assembly criticality of a light water reactor was investigated using two 2-group models. The particle effect was calculated by comparing the criticalities of two fuel assemblies, each containing one gadolinia-poisoned rod. For purposes of comparison, both rods contained an equal quantity of gadolinia,...
