Startup, transition core, and molybdenum-99 production upgrade analyses for low-enriched uranium fuel conversion at the University of Missouri research reactor
Abstract:Under the direction of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Material Management and Minimization (M3) Reactor Conversion Program, the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR®) plans to convert from highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. Low power physics startup test predictions, transition core planning, and analysis for a proposed fission-based molybdenum-99 production upgrade were done in support of LEU … Show more
