Comparative Results

This paper presents a model development of the Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor (DNRR) loaded with low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel using the Serpent 2 Monte Carlo code. The purpose is to prepare the DNRR Serpent 2 model for performing fuel burnup calculations of the DNRR as well as for generating multi-group neutron cross sections to be further used in the kinetics calculations of the DNRR with a 3D reactor kinetics code. The DNRR Serpent 2 model was verified through comparing with the MCNP6 criticality calculations under different reactor conditions. The parameters to be compared include the effective neutron multiplication factor, radial and axial powerdistributions, and thermal neutron flux distributions. The comparative results generally show a good agreement between Serpent 2 and MCNP6 and thus indicate that the DNRR Serpent 2 model can be used for further calculations of the DNRR.

High Investment

Due to its complexity, nuclear reactor instrument automation is a challenge to engineers. High investment and running costs of a nuclear research reactor imply the use of advanced equipment and concepts for instrument automation when striving for high performance, reliability, and operational convenience under budgetary pressure. The article describes a successfully operating instrument automation system stressing the important underlying concepts trying to avoid too much details on specific hardware which is dependent on the time when one must order things.
