Description

The neutron flux evaluation for a CANDU reactor cell is presented. A unit cell consisting of a single fuel channel and the appropriate amount of moderator (D2 O) is considered. The geometrical model is composed of 10 regions: 6 regions with the same fuel elements, sheaths and D2 O coolant, which differ only by geometry and 4 regions formed by pressure tube, CO2, calandria tube and moderator. The microscopic cross sections were selected from DLC-2 library for P0 order of scattering using the program RETOG. The macroscopic cross sections for homogenized regions were calculated with TAPEMA code. The neutron fluxes have been computed by ANISN in the S4 approximation and cylindrical geometry. The results are plotted for fast energy groups (> 10 MeV) as a function of the cell radius. (Author)
