Developing a fresh core neutronic model at 300K for a VVER-1000 reactor type using MCNP6
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)A steady state neutronics model for a fresh core Voda Voda Energo Reaktor (VVER)-1000 reactor type is developed using an internationally recognised code, Monte Carlo N-Particle, version 6 (MCNP6). This research study is ... -
Evaluation of SiC cladded annular fuel as accident tolerant fuel for PWRs
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)Nuclear energy produced by Light Water Reactors (LWRs) was in the spotlight in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster, which led to the development of Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATF). ATF desires to improve fuel safety and ... -
Mitigation strategies for hydrogen safety in the confined environment : CFD modelling and validation
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)This research is based on experimental evaluation and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling validation. Full-scale tests to investigate unintended hydrogen release were conducted at the HySA Mining Platform Test ... -
Neutronics and fuel performance analysis of TRISO-based accident tolerant fuel for PWRs
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)South Africa has one nuclear power plant in Cape Town called the Koeberg nuclear power station. This power station still uses conventional uranium dioxide fuel pellets and zirconium cladding. Since the Fukushima-Daiichi ...
