Description
An investigation is carried out on possible decoupling effects on Cfv reactor type with heterogeneous blanket regions like that present in the Astrid reactor. A code based on Avery s coupled reactor theory was used to study the impact of different subdivisions of an Astrid benchmark in several zones (reactors) for a transient of a rod ejection. Coupling coefficients are computed using a new developed version of the Serpent code. (Author)
