Model Benchmarking for Missouri S&T Reactor Part 1: Approach to Criticality and Axial Flux Profile

摘要

An MCNP [1] model of the Missouri University of Science and Technology Reactor including the reactor pool, core, thermal column, beam port, and fuel storage pit. The model is written with flexibility to accommodate any core configuration. Each fuel element is modeled as its own universe and placed in the grid at the desired location using a transform function. A map of the current reactor core is shown in Figure 1.
