  • Benchmark comparison of the Oregon State TRIGA reactor between MCNP6 and Serpent 2

    Creator:
    Law, Tyler
    Abstract:
    A model of the Oregon State TRIGA reactor was developed in Serpent 2 by translating a previously accepted MCNP model. Both models were verified and validated via comparison of each model and data gathered from the core start-up. Reactivity bias in each code was determined. Using the rod drop method,...

  • Temporal gamma-ray spectrometry to quantify relative fissile material content

    Creator:
    Williford, Russell S.
    Abstract:
    A new method for delayed gamma-ray spectrometry to quantify the relative content of fissile material is developed and demonstrated to support international efforts in bolstering non-destructive assay capabilities. Previous traditional delayed gamma-ray spectrometry techniques rely upon nuclear data that often carry very high uncertainty. The new method removes the requirement...

  • Control Rod Shadowing Effects in Control Rod Calibrations of The Oregon State TRIGA® Reactor

    Creator:
    Spoerer, Tracey T.
    Abstract:
    Control rod calibration experiment results for the Oregon State TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) immediately following LEU conversion in 2008, and MCNP® 5 predicted rod worths from the 2008 LEU Conversion Safety Analysis Report (CSAR) are discussed. The reactivity worth of the four OSTR control rods are measured using the rod-pull method....
