摘要

The BR2 reactor physics group has performed extensive neutronic feasibility studies of four Design Demonstration Element (DDE) tests foreseen for the US High Performance Research Reactor (USHPRR) conversion program. The purpose of these tests would be to irradiate the future LEU fuel elements for MURR, MITR, NBSR and HFIR in the BR2 reactor under conditions that are similar to those of the original reactor. The present paper focuses on the preliminary feasibility study for the simultaneous irradiation of the MITR-DDE and the NBSR-DDE in the BR2 reactor. In order to mimic the irradiation conditions of the original reactors for both DDEs inside the BR2 reactor, a number of irradiation scenarios and irradiation rig designs were optimized.The results obtained in this paper show that the BR2 reactor is capable to accurately recreate the typical irradiation conditions experienced by the future fuel elements of the NBSR and MITR with high fidelity. The power evolution and final burnup distributions are close to the specified values. We have proposed and have shown the possibility to irradiate both DDEs at the same time. The irradiations, if conducted as specified at fully representative powers, are long (three to five years), due to the requested relatively low power in combination with targeted elevated burnups. It is possible to reduce the irradiation time if a higher power can be accepted, but in this feasibility study, we attempted to simulate the required conditions as accurately as possible.
