A study on the feasibility of using Uranium Nitride (UN) fuel in Pressurized water reactors (PWR)
MCNPX computer code is used to design a three-dimensional model for a typical Pressurized Water reactor (PWR) core. Uranium Nitride fuel (UN) was tested for the reactor and the results were compared with a typical UO2 fuel. Neutron spectrum, power distributions, plutonium isotopes productions, and k...
