| Özet |
| This study investigates the feasibility of using a Uranium–Manganese (U–Mn) alloy as an alternative fuel for the Dual Fluid Reactor (DFR m) concept to increase the temperature margin, along with a Magnesium Oxide–Beryllium Oxide (MgO–BeO) ceramic fuel tube. Neutronic analyses were performed using the SERPENT 1.1. 7 Monte Carlo code with the ENDF/B-VII cross-section library to evaluate fuel performance, reactivity behavior, and safety margins. The results indicate that the U–Mn fuel exhibits lower values and shorter fuel cycle length to those of the U–Cr fuel, while providing the advantage of a lower eutectic temperature. Reactivity coefficients found to be negative for both fuel and coolant with the SiC fuel tube, ensuring inherent safety during temperature excursions. However, for the MgO–BeO configuration, the reactivity coefficients for MgO-BeO were found to be positive, which represents a critical … |
