Assembly Based Modular Ray Tracing for Rectangular and Hexagonal Lattices

  • 1. Seoul National University, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The pin cell based modular ray tracing (CMRT) can be applied to solve the MOC equations efficiently, but there is a limitation that it can not model the gap cells appearing between assemblies. Thus assembly based modular ray tracing (AMRT) is essential for practical applications. Since most reactors involve either rectangular or hexagonal fuel assemblies, a whole core transport code employing AMRT can be applied widely as long as it can treat both geometries. nTracer is a such code being developed at Seoul National University for applications to VHTR, SFR as well as commercial PWRs. This paper is to describe the unique features and performance of the AMRT of the nTracer code
