CANDU reactor as minor actinide/thorium burner with uniform power density in the fuel bundle
Şahin, Sümer; Yalçın, Şenay; Yıldız, Kadir; Şahin, Hacı Mehmet; Acır, Adem; Şahin, Necmettin (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2008)A CANDU reactor fueled with a mixed fuel made of thoria (ThO2) and nuclear waste actinides has been investigated. The mixed fuel composition has been varied in radial direction to achieve a uniform power distribution and ... -
Effects of spectral shifting in an inertial confinement fusion system
Şahin, Sümer; Şahin, Hacı Mehmet; Yıldız, Kadir; Acır, Adem (Carl Hanser Verlag, 2005)The main objective is to study the effects of spectral shifting in an inertial confinement system for kT/shot energy regime on the breeding performance for tritium and for high quality fissile fuel. A protective liquid ... -
Estimation of neutronic performance in a hybrid reactor with regression analysis
Acır, Adem; Alakoç, Nilüfer Pekin; Yıldız, Kadir (Springer, 2009)This study presents regression analysis method used for prediction and investigation of neutronic performance in a hybrid reactor using UO(2) fuel and Flibe (Li(2)BeF(4)) coolant. The (235)U fraction is increased gradually ... -
Increased fuel burn up in a CANDU thorium reactor using weapon grade plutonium
Weapon grade plutonium is used as a booster fissile fuel material in the form of mixed ThO2/PuO2 fuel in a Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) fuel bundle in order to assure the initial criticality at startup. Two different ... -
Investigation of CANDU reactors as a thorium burner
Large quantities of plutonium have been accumulated in the nuclear waste of civilian LWRs and CANDU reactors. Reactor grade plutonium can be used as a booster fissile fuel material in the form of mixed ThO2/PuO 2 fuel in ... -
Investigation of effectiveness of different tritium breeding materials in a fusion-fission hybrid reactor fuelled with ThSi 2-moderated with natural Li
Yıldız, Kadir; Acır, Adem (2005)In this work, a fusion-fission reactor fuelling with ThSi 2 is investigated. Natural Li is selected as a moderator in the reactor and Li 2TiO 3, Li 2ZrO 3, Li 4SiO 4 and Li 2O are used in the tritium breeding zones of the ... -
Minor actinide burning in a CANDU thorium reactor
Şahin, Sümer; Yıldız, Kadir; Şahin, Hacı Mehmet; Acır, Adem; Şahin, Necmettin; Altınok, T. (HANSER eLibrary, 2006)Nuclear power plants are producing nuclear waste materials in substantial quantities, which represent a hazard potential for future generations. -
Power flattening in the fuel bundle of a CANDU reactor
Şahin, Sümer; Yıldız, Kadir; Acır, Adem (2004)The strong non-uniformity of the fission power production density in the CANDU fuel bundle could have been mitigated to a great degree. A satisfactory power flattening has been achieved through an appropriately evaluated ... -
ThSi2 yakıtlı flibe soğutuculu bir füzyon-fisyon hibrid reaktöründe farklı trityum üretim malzemelerinin kullanılmasının fisil ve fusil yakıt üretimine etkileri
Acır, Adem; Yıldız, Kadir; Alkan, Mahmut; Şahin, Necmettin (2007)Bu çalışmada, ThSi2 yakıtlı flibe (Li2BeF4) soğutuculu bir füzyon-fisyon hibrid reaktörde trityum üretim bölgesinde Li2TiO3, Li2ZrO3, Li4SiO4 ve Li2O gibi dört farklı Li bileşikleri kullanılmıştır. Füzyon nötron kaynağı ... -
