Comparison of the neutron energy spectrum and neutron fluence rate in the LVR-15 research reactor with fuel with different enrichment
Result description
The paper compares measured neutron energy spectra and neutron fluence rates in the LVR-15 reactor core fully equipped with IRT2M nuclear fuel (enrichment 36% of 235U in the form of UO2) and then with a partially replaced core equipped with three IRT4M nuclear fuel assemblies (enrichment 19.7%). The measurements were performed in the LVR-15 reactor at Research Center Rez Ltd. in the Czech Republic, and were related to a planned transition to low-enriched nuclear fuel within the scope of the RERTR programme. An activation method was chosen for the neutron spectrum measurement.
