Abstract To enable the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) in Canada, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is interested applicability zero energy deuterium-2 (ZED-2) experiments for validation Monte Carlo reactor physics codes and models SMR fuels. This investigated here by considering potential ZED-2 testing fuel assemblies (FAs) two different technologies: pressurized-water (PWR), fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature (FHR). Each proposed set mixed-lattice substitution uses driver...
TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear Science (TITAN) Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) Beam Cooler is a device that cools collects short-lived isotopes, with half-lives as short 10 ms, created by an Isotope Separator Accelerator (ISAC). An RF square wave driver (RFSWD), must have rise fall times of less than 125 ns (10% to 90%), performs 2-dimensional focusing the ion beam within RFQ, along planes normal beam's intended trajectory, confine motion stable path; hence ions can be trapped...
Abstract This paper presents the findings of studies conducted at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to support development small modular reactor (SMR) designs. The primary focus this research was evaluate suitability zero energy deuterium 2 (ZED-2) critical facility in replicating physics environment for a pressurized water (PWR-SMR) design concept through similarity and nuclear data sensitivity studies, using TSUNAMI code suite. It found that previous ZED-2 experiments would be quite...
A machine-learning algorithm has been implemented by use of a neural network as preliminary study on the applicability this method to special nuclear materials detection. The predicts presence 238 U isotope when learning from gamma spectrum data measured with high-purity germanium detector sample depleted uranium. In work, both fully connected and convolutional have implemented, performance different configurations studied. showed better over network, cost function success rate values...
To support the development of advanced pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) fuel cycles, it is necessary to study short-term storage solutions for spent fuel. In this paper, some representational criticality safety and shielding assessments are presented a particular PHWR plutonium–thorium based bundle concept in hypothetical aboveground dry module. The assessment found that important parameters design neutron absorber content composition, particularly light high sensitivity code results...
In the early 1940s at National Research Council (NRC) Laboratories in Ottawa, Canada, Dr. George Laurence conducted several experiments to determine if a sustained nuclear fission chain reaction carbon–uranium arrangement (or “pile”) was possible. Although did not achieve criticality, these pioneering marked significant historical event science, and they provided valuable reference for subsequent that led design of Canada’s first heavy-water reactors Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories. This...
