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 …

Study the Effect of Gd2O3 on the Neutronic Characteristics of Boiling Water Reactor using MCNPX Code
Abstract: MCNPX code (Monte Carlo N–Particle code extended) is used to design Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) bundle model. This model is designed to study the effect of Gd2O3 on the reactivity effect of voiding, void coefficient, neutron flux and normalized power. The incorporation of Gd2O3 directly into the UO2 fuel is the most attractive process, because of its significant effect on the fuel life in the core of the reactor. The …
