Abstract

In this study, pin-shaped natural metallic uranium fuel cells with a diameter of 1.4 cm were designed with and without enrichment of 2-10% by using helium as a coolant. The calculations were conducted by using SRAC software and the results show that the greater the enrichment level, the more significant the value of the infinite-multiplication-factor (kinf), meanwhile the conversion ratio is smaller. Basically, uranium exists in two isotopic forms namely, U-235 and U-238 which are transformed into other element such as Pu-239 when they both go through fission and transmutation reactions in the reactor core. Therefore, to obtain the optimum reactor core design, the performance information of nuclear fuel cells from the variations of burn-up time needs to be taken into consideration.
