THE INVESTIGATION OF BURNUP CHARACTERISTICS USING THE SERPENT MONTE CARLO CODE FOR A SODIUM COOLED FAST REACTOR
In this research, we investigated the burnup characteristics and the shades eq driftwood conversion of fertile 232Th into fissile 233U in the core of a Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR).The SFR fuel assemblies were designed for burning 232Th fuel (fuel pin 1) and 233U fuel (fuel pin 2) and include mixed minor actinide compositions.Monte Carlo simula
