Decay Heat Analysis of a TRU-fueled Deep Burn VHTR Core
- 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
The decay heat of radioactive isotopes is one of main concerns in designing a reactor core as well as designing a spent fuel repository. In particular, the effective removal of the decay heat during accidents such as high or low pressure conduction cooling events is a crucial factor which determines the main design parameters of a very high temperature gas cooled reactor (VHTR) core. In our previous work, a sophisticated decay heat analysis procedure by using McCARD code and ORIGEN-2 code was introduced and a decay heat analysis of PMR200, a uranium-fueled VHTR, core was demonstrated. In this study, the decay heat of a TRU-fueled deep burn VHTR core was analyzed by using the McCARD/ORIGEN-2 procedure introduced in reference 1
