UC, $UC_2$ ve $U_2C_3$ yakıtlarının füzyon nötron kaynaklı bir hibrid reaktörde değerlendirilmesi

Bu çalışmada (D.T) fuzyon nötron kaynaklı ve yakıt olarak UC, $UC_2$ ve $U_2C_3$ kullanılan bir hibrid mantonun 48 aylık reaktör çalışma süresince fisil yakıt üretimi açısından nötronik performansı araştırılmıştır. Reaktör yakıt bölgesinde soğutucu olarak ötektoid lityum kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada ilk duvar füzyon nötron akısı 5 MW/m2 ve tesis faktörü % 75 dir. Tüm yakıt modellerinde homojen güç için manto enerji çoğaltım faktörü (M), trityum üretimi (TBR), kümülatif fisil yakıt zenginleştirmesi (CFFE), yanma oranı (BU), yakıt gençleştirme kabiliyeti (FOM) ve ısı ayrılması hesaplamaları yapılmıştır. Hibrid mantoda yakıt tipine bağlı olarak % 3-4 'lük zenginleştirme durumuna, yakıt çubuklarının $UC_2$ ihtiva ettiği durumda 18 ve 30, UC ve $U_2C_3$ yakıtlarda 20 ve 30 aylık çalışma süresinde ulaşıldı. En iyi trityum üretim oranı UC yakıtlı modelde elde edildi, bunu sırayla $U_2C_3$ ve $UC_2$ yakıtlar takip etmektedir.

Evaluation of UC,$UC_2$ ve$U_2C_3$ fuels in a hybrid reactor with fusion neutron source

In this study from the point of fissile fuel breeding neutronic performance is investigated in a hybrid manto with fusion neutron source using UC,$UC_2$ and $U_2C_3$ as fuels during 48 mounth reactor operation time. Eutectic lithium was used as coolant in the reactors fuel zone. A first-wall fusion neutron current load 5 MW/m2 and plant factor 75 % . For all fuel models neutronic calculations were done for cumulative fissile fuel enrichment (CFFE), energy multiplication factor (M), tritium breeding ratio (TBR), fuel burn-up , fuel regeneration ability (FOM) and heat release. At the end of operation time, according fuel the enrichments of the 3-4 % were achieved for operation time of 18 and 30 mouth in case of fuel rods containing $UC_2$, respectively and for operation time of the 20 and 30 mouth in case of fuel rods containing UC and $U_2C_3$. The best tritium breeding ratio is obtained in UC, and followed by $U_2C_3$ and $UC_2$.
