Neutronic calculations for the irradiation experiment TRIDEX in the vertical channel 2V3 of the research reactor FRJ-2 (DIDO)

Description

In the framework of the development of a fusion reactor blanket the irradiation experiment TRIDEX (Tritium Recovery Irradiation DIDO Experiment) takes place at the Juelich Research Reactor FRJ-2 (DIDO). The irradiations are considered in the reactor channel 6V1 of the D2O-reflector and in the reactor channel 2V3 in a notch position at the core-edge. The topic of our neutronic calculations is the determination of intensity parameter values for the formation of tritium from lithium samples irradiated with neutrons on one hand and the determination of a reactivity equivalent value for the TRIDEX irradiation equipment on the other hand. The determination of the neutron spectrum needed for the neutronic calculations has been performed in a two-dimensional x-y-geometry. After recently achieved calculations for TRIDEX in the reactor channel 6V1 the analog computations in the reactor channel 2V3 have been accomplished. These calculations and their results are presented. (orig./HP)

Abstract (German)

Im Rahmen der Fusionsreaktorblanket-Entwicklung findet am FRJ-2 (DIDO) das Bestrahlungsexperiment TRIDEX (Tritium Recovery Irradiation DIDO Experiment) statt. Die Bestrahlungen sind in der D2O-Reflektorposition 6V1 und in der am Core-Rand gelegenen Schartenposition 2V3 vorgesehen. Gegenstand der neutronischen Rechnungen ist die Bestimmung der Intensitaetsparameterwerte fuer die Tritium-Bildung aus mit Neutronen bestrahlten Lithium-Proben und die Berechnung des Reaktivitaetsaequivalentes des TRIDEX-Bestrahlungseinschubes. Die fuer die neutronischen Berechnungen erforderliche Ermittlung des Neutronenspektrums erfolgte in einer zweidimensionalen x-y-Geometrie. Nach bereits frueher durchgefuehrten Kalkulationen fuer TRIDEX im Reaktorkanal 6V1 werden die Berechnungen und ihre Ergebnisse fuer TRIDEX im Reaktorkanal 2V3 vorgelegt. (orig./HP)
