The description of dynamical fission process using improved quantum molecular dynamics model incorporated with microscopic potential energy surface by K. Zhao, Y.J. He, Z.X. Li, L.L. Liu, C.W. Shen, Y.J. Chen, X.Z. Wu

“…The calculated both charge and mass distributions of fission fragments for a series of actinide nuclei are in overall agreement with the evaluated data from JEFF-3.3 and ENDF/B-VIII.0. The isotope distributions of fission fragments in the fission of 236U reproduce the data reasonable well, from which we extract the relationship between peak mass number of the isotope distributions and the charge number of fission fragments. …”

Neutronics experiments of dual functional lithium-lead blanket based on D-T fusion neutron source by ZENG Zhengkui, CHEN Size, ZHANG Yong, WANG Haixia, XIONG Houhua

“…Finally, the measured TPR and reaction rates of the activation foils were compared with Monte Carlo simulation results coupled with JEFF3.2 nuclear data library.ResultsThe comparison results show that measurement uncertainty of neutron source intensity is within 4.2%, and the ratios of calculation results to experimental data (C/E) are 1.0~1.07 on TPRs and 0.77~1.1 on reaction rates.ConclusionsThe obtained results indicate that the tritium breeding ratio in neutronics design can be accurately evaluated.…”

Numerical and experimental characterization of the reaction rates in the core of the CNESTEN’s TRIGA Mark II research reactor by Ghninou H., Gruel A., Lyoussi A., Reynard-Carette C., El Younoussi C., El Bakkari B., Nacir B., Boulaich Y., Bounouira H.

“…In order to precisely preparing the experiments in the CNESTEN’s TRIGA reactor, a detailed model was developed using the 3D continuous energy Monte Carlo code TRIPOLI-4 and the continuous energy cross-section data from the JEFF3.1.1 nuclear data library. This new model was used to carry out preliminary neutron and photon calculations to estimate flux levels in the irradiation channels as well as to calculate kinetic parameters of the reactor, core excess reactivity, integral control rods worth and power peaking factors. …”
