| Abstract: | This report consists of two separate studies. The first part deals with the calculation of the tube thickness of the Bruce B adjuster rods. The incremental cross-section for four tube thicknesses were obtained using the SUPERCELL Method. The tube thicknesses were then calculated so that the flux distributions at steady state full power and the corresponding total reactivity worth of the adjuster rods were in agreement with the reference design valves. The second part deals with the modifications made to the three-dimensionalSORGHUM code to permit calculations of steady-state flux distributions in asubcritical assembly in the presence of a constant non-fission meutron source. |
