Investigation of BeO as a reflector for the low power research reactor

Calculations of the fuel burnup, core excess reactivity, and the reactivity worths of the top beryllium shim plates for two reflector types (beryllium and beryllium oxide (BeO)) in the Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) have been presented in this paper using the GETERA and MCNP4C codes. The results showed that the reactor infinity multiplication factors were 1.7030 and 1.6824, the core unadjusted excess reactivities were 31.9 and 5.0 mk, and the reactivity worths of the top beryllium shim plates were 22 and 19 mk for the BeO and Be reflectors respectively. Finally, using the beryllium oxide instead of the existing Be reflector in the MNSR reactor increased the core excess reactivity and reactor operation time.     

Design of the thermal neutron beam for neutron radiography at the Syrian MNSR

Neutron beam design was studied at the Syrian reactor (MNSR, 30 kW) with a view to generating thermal neutron beam in the vertical irradiation sites for neutron radiography. The design of the neutron collimator was performed using MCNP4C and the ENDF/B-V cross-section library. Thermal, epithermal and fast neutron energy ranges were selected as <0.4 eV, 0.4 eV–10 keV, >10 keV, respectively. To produce a good neutron beam quality, bismuth was used as photon filter. In this design, the L/D ratio of this facility had the value of 125. The thermal neutron flux at the beam exit was about 2.548 × 10⁵ n/cm² s. If such neutron beam were built into the Syrian MNSR many scientific applications would be available using the neutron radiography.     

An experimental study of the shielding characteristics of the dwelling house building materials against gamma radiations in the Central Region of Syria

The shielding properties of the concrete and blocks used for the construction of dwelling houses in the Central Region of Syria (CRS) were measured and studied. The concrete used for the ceiling construction was found to have optimum shielding properties with 0.182 cm⁻¹ (or equivalently 0.0859 cm² g⁻¹) for the linear (mass) attenuation coefficient [L(M)AC]. In addition gamma radiation is attenuated by 73.221% on average, while the blocks used for the walls have smaller LACs (0.082 cm⁻¹ for the bare blocks, and 0.118 cm⁻¹ for the coated ones). Although the LACs for the blocks are smaller than those for the concrete their shielding properties are good to protect from the gamma radiations coming from radioactive or nuclear accidents (78.630% attenuation), even Chernobyl – like disasters, because of their big width (10–12 cm). The LACs were measured by an ionization chamber and simple theoretical calculations have been made to predict the concrete LACs. The calculations showed an average LAC for the six samples equal to 0.1664 cm⁻¹ with 8.47% error with respect to the experimental values.     

Calculation of fuel burnup and radionuclide inventory in the Syrian miniature neutron source reactor using the GETERA code

Calculations of the fuel burnup and radionuclide inventory in the Syrian miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR) after 10 years (the reactor core expected life) of the reactor operation time are presented in this paper using the GETERA code. The code is used to calculate the fuel group constants and the infinite multiplication factor versus the reactor operating time for 10, 20, and 30 kW operating power levels. The amounts of uranium burntup and plutonium produced in the reactor core, the concentrations and radionuclides of the most important fission products and actinide radionuclides accumulated in the reactor core, and the total radioactivity of the reactor core were calculated using the GETERA code as well. It is found that the GETERA code is better than the WIMSD4 code for the fuel burnup calculation in the MNSR reactor since it is newer, has a bigger library of isotopes, and is more accurate.
