An investigative study of enrichment reduction impact on the neutron flux in the in-core flux-trap facility of MTR research reactors

Research reactors in-core experimental facilities are designed to provide the highest steady state flux for user's irradiation requirements. However, fuel conversion from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) driven by the ongoing effort to diminish proliferation risk, wil...
