Bir Hibrit Reaktörde TRISO Kaplamalı Candu Nükleer Yakıt Atıklarının Nötronik Analizi

Bu çalışmada; bir füzyon fisyon hibrid reaktöründe TRISO kaplamalı CANDU harcanmış nükleer atıklarının yakılmasının nötronik performansa etkisi araştırılmıştır. Nötron transport hesaplamaları XSDRNPM/SCALE5 kodu yardımıyla yapılmıştır. Soğutucu olarak doğal Lityum, Flibe, Flinabe ve Li20Sn80kullanılmıştır. TRISO kaplamalı CANDU harcanmış nükleer atıkların, trityum üretim oranı (TBR), enerji çoğaltım faktörü (M), fisil yakıt üretimi ve yanma oranlarına etkisi karşılaştırılmalı olarak araştırılmıştır. Zamana bağlı olarak elde edilen nötronik sonuçların yanma oranı açısından TRISO kaplamalı CANDU harcanmış nükleer atıklardan etkilendiği gözlenmiştir

Neutronic Analysis of TRISO Coated Candu Spent Fuel in A Hybrid Reactor

In this study, time dependent performance of incineration of the TRISO fuel containing CANDU spent fuels in the Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) fusion driven hybrid reactor was investigated. Neutron transport calculations were performed by using XSDRNPM/SCALE 5 codes. In the reactor model, neutral lithium, flibe, flinabe and Li20Sn80 were used as coolants. In the calculations, the effect of TRISO fuel containing CANDU spent fuels on tritium breeding ratio (TBR), energy multiplication (M), fissile fuel breeding (FFB) and average burn up values were comparatively investigated. According to the time dependent calculations, it was observed that TRISO fuel containing CANDU spent fuels extends the burn-up
