An analytical solution for the consideration of the effect of adjacent fuel elements


An analytical solution for the consideration of the effect of adjacent fuel elements

Merk, B.; Rohde, U.

A new analytical method is described to deal with the Leakage Environmental Effect. The method is based on the analytical solution of the two group diffusion equation for two adjacent fuel elements. The quality of the results for this highly efficient method is demonstrated on a homogeneous test case and on a heterogeneous combination of two fuel elements described in the PWR MOX/UO2 CORE TRANSIENT BENCHMARK.

Keywords: Analytical Solution; Cross Section Preparation; Leakage Environmental Effect
