NEUTRONICS INVESTIGATION OF CANADA DEUTERIUM URANIUM 6 REACTOR FUELED (TRANSURANIC-TH) O-2 USING A COMPUTATIONAL METHOD

摘要

Background: Am-241, Am-243, and Np-237 isotopes are among the most radiotoxic components of spent nuclear fuel. Recently, researchers have planned different incineration scenarios for the highly radiotoxic elements of nuclear waste in critical reactors. Computational methods are widely used to predict burnup rates of such nuclear wastes that are used under fuel matrixes in critical reactors.
