Nuclear criticality safety aspects of gaseous uranium hexafluoride (UF6) in the diffusion cascade
- 1. Parallax, Inc., Atlanta, GA (United States)
Description
This paper determines the nuclear safety of gaseous UF6 in the current Gaseous Diffusion Cascade and auxiliary systems. The actual plant safety system settings for pressure trip points are used to determine the maximum amount of HF moderation in the process gas, as well as the corresponding atomic number densities. These inputs are used in KENO V.a criticality safety models which are sized to the actual plant equipment. The ENO V.a calculation results confirm nuclear safety of gaseous UF6 in plant operations
