A simulation of GM-MSR reactor using the MCNP and WIMSD5

Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using the GM-MSR (Graphite Moderated-Molten Salt Reactor) like Pu and MAs (Minor Actinides) burner. It was simulated three fuels, using MCNP and WIMS code: a traditional combination of thorium and enriched uranium, a plutonium matrix come from PWR, replacing the uranium, and a matrix of plutonium and MAs, come from PWR too, replacing the uranium, keeping the enrichment and total volume in all substitutions. Some neutronic parameters were analyzed. (author)
