Comparison of diffusion and transport theory analysis with experimental results in fast breeder test reactor

  • 1. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam (India)

Description

A systematic analysis has been performed by 3 dimensional diffusion and transport methods to calculate the measured control rod worths and subassembly wise power distribution in fast breeder test reactor. Geometry corrections (rectangular to hexagonal and diffusion to transport corrections are estimated for multiplication factors and control rod worths. Calculated control rod worths by diffusion and transport theory are nearly the same and 10% above measured values. Power distribution in the core periphery is over predicted (15%) by diffusion theory. But, this over prediction reduces to 8% by use of the SN method. (authors). 9 refs., 4 tabs., 3 fig
