MCNP4B Modeling of Pebble-Bed Reactors

The applicability of the Monte Carlo code MCNP4B to the neutronic modeling of pebble-bed reactors was investigated. A modeling methodology was developed based on an analysis of critical experiments carried out at the HTR-PROTEUS and ASTRA facilities, and the critical loading of the HTR-10 reactor. A...
