Improvement of Nuclear Heating Evaluation Inside the Core of the OSIRIS Material Testing Reactor

Improvement of Nuclear Heating Evaluation Inside the Core of the OSIRIS Material Testing Reactor

In this paper we present a nuclear heating from neutron and photon rays calculation scheme mainly based on the Monte-Carlo neutral particle transport code TRIPOLI-4® which takes into account the axial distributions of fuel element compositions. This calculation scheme is applied to the OSIRIS reacto...
