The application of heterogeneous theory to PWR studies

  • 1. UKAEA Atomic Energy Establishment, Winfrith

Description

A coarse mesh model based upon an heterogeneous formalism and the use of a space/energy kernel or Greens function calculation by Monte Carlo methods is described. Originally developed for pressure tube reactors the method is extended to PWR geometries. Comparisons with theoretical pin rating distributions and with theoretical and experimental estimates of assembly ratings for the Beznau reactor show the method to be a promising one in this application
