Development of a point-kinetics simulator for molten-salt reactors
Mazher, Momal (2022-08-01)Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors that use a mixture of fissile material and molten fluoride salts as both fuel and primary coolant. Such reactors, which can operate at low pressure and high ... -
Investigation of a SPH-based sub-cell homogenization for PHWR using a multi-cell model
Ferguson, Thomas (2018-06-01)Superhomogenization (SPH) has gained interest in the industry as a possible method to overcome the inherent limitations of standard homogenization (SH) for full nuclearreactor-core neutronics calculations because its ... -
Microreactor for remote Canadian communities
Crowell, Jordan (2022-11-01)Remote Canadian communities rely on diesel generators for their electricity needs. Providing such generators with fuel year-round presents challenges because of inclement weather and long transportation distances involved. ... -
Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
Haroon, Jawad (2023-08-01)Operating CANDU reactors can potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle ...
