Adjuster Rod Design in a CANDU Reactor and Flux Distributions Due to an Arbitrary Source of Neutrons

This submission is officially titled as a project. The author has also produced a second project relating to the same topic, titled "Part B: Power Transient in a CANDU Reactor" / This report consists of two separate studies. The first part deals with the calculation of the tube thickness of the Bruce B adjuster rods. The incremental cross-section for four tube thicknesses were obtained using the SUPERCELL Method. The tube thicknesses were then calculated so that the flux distributions at steady state full power and the corresponding total reactivity worth of the adjuster rods were in agreement with the reference design valves. The second part deals with the modifications made to the three-dimensionalSORGHUM code to permit calculations of steady-state flux distributions in asubcritical assembly in the presence of a constant non-fission meutron source. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)
