Simulate the effect of integral burnable absorber on the neutronic characteristics of a PWR assembly
This article examines the effect of an integral burnable absorber (IBA) on the neutronic characteristics of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) to provide possible improvements for the fuel management. MCNPX code was used to design a three dimensional model for PWR assembly. The design...
