Developing Fuel Management Capabilities Based On Coupled Monte Carlo Depletion in Support of the MIT Research Reactor Conversion

Pursuant to a 1986 NRC ruling, the MIT Reactor (MITR) is planning on converting from the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) for fuel. Prior studies have shown that the MITR will be able to operate using monolithic U-Mo LEU fuel while achieving neutron fluxes close...
