Description

Criticality safety problems, arising in away-from-reactor handling of the 6.5 MW heavy water research reactor fuel, are considered. The present status of fresh and spent fuel storage is described. To calculate criticality parameters of different non-reactor configurations of fresh and irradiated fuel, the well known WIMS code is combined with a few group three dimensional diffusion theory code TRITON. Typical results are presented and discussed. (author)
