Evaluation of temperature and void coefficients of reactivity in homogeneous solution fuel systems

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokai, Ibaraki. Tokai Research Establishment

Description

Uniform void and temperature coefficients of reactivity in homogeneous nuclear fuel systems were derived using simple models based on the four-factor formula. The results were compared with those calculated by the code system SRAC-CITATION, and fairly good agreements were found between the two methods. Through these analyses, some characteristics of solution fuel, such as positive temperature coefficients in Pu bearing solutions, were explained. (author)
