Abstract:Abstract. In this paper we propose to use the MURE (MCNP Utility for Reactor Evolution) package to calculate directly nuclear data sensitivities of the breeding gain of a thorium molten salt reactor. The continuous fuel reprocessing is used to control reactivity. This control coupled with the fact that the fuel has reached its equilibrium, induces feedback effects on nuclear data sensitivities. That is why sensitivities are calculated directly by recalculating the fuel equilibrium of a simplified model after m… Show more
