The results of simulation of IRT-T reactor conversion from highly enriched fuel to new perspective low enriched fuel based on uranium-molybdenum alloy are given. Main characteristics of reacting core with the use of highly enriched and low enriched fuel are calculated. It is shown that impact of using new materials in fuel composition remains neutronic and thermal hydraulic characteristics of the core at an acceptable level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
