AbstractAbstract
[en] The code DELIGHT-4 has been developed for analizing burnup characteristics of the graphite moderated reactor cells and producing the few-group constants. Calculation models for the code are as follows: (1) The number of neutron energy groups is 61 for fast neutrons (10 MeV -- 2.38 eV) and 50 for thermal neutrons (2.38 eV -- 0 eV). (2) The doubly space-heterogeneous effect of fuel (dispersion of coated fuel particles in fuel compacts and regular array of fuel rods in graphite blocks) is considered in the calculation of resonance absorption. (3) The double heterogenity of burnable poison (dispersion of absorber grains in rods) can be considered. (4) The chemical binding effect of graphite is introduced in the scattering of thermal neutrons. (5) The calculations of criticality and burnup are by a few-energy-group models (up to 10 groups for both fast and thermal neutrons), and nuclide chains of thorium-uranium and uranium-plutonium are used for burnup calculation. (6) Neutron streaming effect through holes and gaps in cells can be considered in criticality calculation. (7) The flux distribution in cells can be calculated. The cell-averaged few group constants can be produced in card form for 1-D transport approximation code SLALOM, 2-D S sub( n) code TWOTRAN, 1-D diffusion code BRIQUET, 2-D diffusion code ZADOC-3 and 3-D diffusion code CITATION-DEGA.
