Abstract:Background High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) have many distinct features from the current light water reactor (LWR) fleet, and potential decommissioning strategies should take them into consideration. The proper characterization of the shutdown dose rates can establish a suitable strategy. Methods This article introduces a new shutdown dose rate calculation capability that relies on the MCNP-ORIGEN activation automation tool and the MCNP repeated structures to explicitly model the TRistructural ISOt… Show more
