Design Boiling Water Reactor Core Model Using MCNPX for Studying the Burnable Poisons and the Axial Enrichment Fuel Effect on the Neutronic Characteristics
Abstract: The incorporation of gadolinium directly into nuclear fuel is important for improving the reactor behavior and satisfying the safety criteria during the core lifetime. MCNPX (Monte Carlo N–Particle code extended) has been used for designing Advanced Boiling Water Reactor model. MCNPX code based on Monte Carlo method, is used to design a three-dimensional model for a BWR fuel assembly in a typical operating temperature and pressure conditions. This model has …
