Description
Computations of the incineration parameters for mixed PuO2 and UO2 fuel at the beginning of fuel cycle of the subcritical Energy Amplifier Prototype (EAP-80) driven by 0.6 GeV proton beam were performed. Monte Carlo codes SITHA and MCNP4a(b) were used for computations of the neutron multiplicity and reaction rates. Heterogeneous effect in parameter keff for considered reactor is about 1 %. Incineration rate of 239Pu is about 0.14 kg/(MW.yr), while the breeding rate of Pu actinides is 0.06 kg/(MW.yr). (author)
