  • Optimization of in-core nuclear fuel management in a pressurized water reactor

    Creator:
    Stout, Richard Bartholomew
    Abstract:
    Fuel loading patterns which have a minimum power peak are economically desirable to allow power reactors to operate at the highest possible power density and to minimize the possibility of fuel failure. A computer code called SHUFLE was developed for pressurized water reactors which shuffles the fuel in search of...

  • Numerical solutions of the neutron transport equation

    Creator:
    Skeen, David Roy
    Abstract:
    Because of the high cost of fuel for nuclear reactors, fuel cycle costs must be predicted accurately. This leads to the high cost computer computations and a search for cheaper yet still accurate methods. For this paper we have chosen to study an alternate method for calculating thermal neutron cell...
