“…Cammi et al studied the multi-physics modeling which discussed the description of the coupling between heat transfer, fluid dynamics and neutronics characteristics in a typical Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) core channel [10]. Hughes worked the evaluation of reactor designs where a detailed multi-physics analysis was performed [11]. Aufiero et al studied that the coupling among the neutronic, the thermal-elastic and the fluiddynamic phenomena was done in the reactor channel [12].…”

Technology platform (TP) is introduced for the nuclear industrial promotions in the aspect of the inerdisplinary technology. The modeling is assumed as the introduction in 2010 which has been a role of the TP in the nuclear industry. The evolution of the new TP is one of important strategy to enhance the profits of the nuclear energy industry. Conventional trends of R&Ds as discovery and invention have been changed to the platform supplies which are incorporated with the information technology (IT) company. In the modeling, the multidisciplinary R&Ds can imply new TP in which the simulation is quantified and then the comparative values are obtained. The analysis performed by the technology evolution (TE) has been done for the dynamical simulations where the other kinds of TP could be expected. Keywords—Technology Platform (TP), Nuclear Energy, Industry, Information Technology (IT), Technology Evolution (TE)

CRITICALITY ANALYSIS OF URANIUM STORAGE FACILITY WITH FORMATION RACKS.Uranium materials are needed for the uranium fuel production of research reactors and radioisotope. Before the uranium material is used, it is stored in the storage facility. One of the prerequisites for uranium material storage facilities is that it must be in the sub-critical condition. The purpose of this study is to analyze the criticality condition of uranium material storage facility located in PT. Inuki (Persero) and to ensure that the criticality condition is always in sub-critical state. Criticality analysis was performed using MCNP-5 program to determine the level of criticality of the three uranium material storage facilities at initial conditions and conditions after adding the storage racks. For analysing storage facilities 1 and 2, three scenarios of container on the storage rack formations were considered. Meanwhile, for analysing the storage facility 3, one scenario was considered. The results confirm that all strorages at initial condition and after adding storage racks formation were still in sub-critical condition (k-eff<1). These results are then used as the basis for the uranium materials management. It is also used as a basis for issuing an operational license by the nuclear energy regulatory body (BAPETEN).
