Thermal Neutron Utilization Factor Calculation by Monte Carlo

Abstract:

The Neutron Transport Theory is accurate in reactor engineering analysis, but the calculation process is tedious and complicated. The objective of the present study obtains the thermal utilization factor f by Monte Carlo method. The study establishes the pressurized water reactor model by MCNP program firstly, and calculates the dioxide pellets, zirconium alloy cladding and moderator’s neutron flux density distribution. The thermal neutron disadvantage factor ζ will be gained according to the definition formula. Based on the functional relationship between the above thermal neutron disadvantage factor ζ and the thermal utilization factor f, this study finally obtains the thermal utilization factor f.
