Abstract:The reactivity value of the Bandung TRIGA 2000 reactor core has decreased over time, so the power generated by the reactor is also getting smaller, despite the control rod position is fully withdrawn. Therefore, it is necessary to reshuffle and refuel the fuel element to increase the excess reactivity by considering the safety parameters, such as axial and radial power peaking factors, DNBR, dTsat, and temperature on the cladding and in the center of the fuel element. The analyzed reactor safety parameters are… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
