et al.

Abstract: In this study, a high-fidelity Monte Carlo model was utilized to investigate the localized behavior of the power peaking factor in a reactor core. The model considered the effect of water gaps, also known as flux traps, on the local power peaking. The model, developed using the Serpent code, employs a fine spatial mesh to accurately describe the fission power and burnup distribution. The results obtained from the model were validated through comparison with experimental measurements of the power distribution o… Show more
