Analysis of Individual Fuel Element Burnup and Core Burnup Lifetime of BAEC TRIGA Core Using TRIGAP Code
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The 3 MW TRIGA Mark II research reactor of Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) has been operating since 1986 without any reshuffling or reloading yet. The key objective of this study was to calculate the core burnup lifetime at 700 MWd of the BAEC TRIGA Low Enrichment Uranium (LEU) fresh core and it is an important characteristic of the in-core fuel management. The core burnup lifetimes at 2 MW power condition was calculated using TRIGAP code. The calculated results were compared to the three dimensional MVP-BURN result and also the reference data of Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-1282). It was found that the calculated core burnup lifetime shows a good agreement to the MVP-BURN result. By analyzing the results it might be concluded that the TRIGAP code shows a good performance for core burnup lifetime calculation of the LEU fresh core of 3 MW TRIGA MARK II research reactor, which reflects that the TRIGA model is simulated properly by TRIGAP code.
