Safety Considerations for the PRR-1 TRIGA-Fueled Subcritical Assembly. Annex IV

Creators

Description

The PRR-1 subcritical assembly for training, education, and research (SATER) is being established by the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) to support capacity building in nuclear science and technology. Slightly irradiated TRIGA fuel will be deployed in PRR-1 SATER, which warrants distinct safety considerations on the fuel configuration and radiological hazard relative to typical SCAs. This is due to the relatively high reactivity worth of each TRIGA fuel and the radiation emitted by fission products. The safety considerations for SATER that are associated with the TRIGA fuel configuration, radiation shielding, and the external neutron source are presented in this annex.
