“Computer Modeling and Burnup Analysis in Light Water Nuclear Reactors”
Basma Mahmoud Mohammed Fouad;
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to study the feasibility of the Thorium/Uranium fuel cycle in heterogeneous Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) core design. This thesis focuses on the neutronic and burnup analysis of the Thorium/Uranium fuel using the computer codes MCNPX and WIMS-D5. The design is based on the Whole Assembly Seed and Blanket (WASB) concept, in which the individual seed (Uranium) and blanket (Thorium-Uranium) units occupy one full-size PWR assembly in a checkerboard core configuration. The results of the present models are compared with the solution of the benchmark problems. Satisfactory agreement is obtained Keywords: Thorium Fuel cycle, Whole Assembly Seed and Blanket, Neutronic calculations
