I meant that I had seen it and that I don´t trust wikipedia anymore (for this kind of data, even though this time is approximately right)
See also these earlier publications -AlbeFerS said:I´ll check it out.
Thank you again.
The UO2 enrichment value can be determined by calculating the weight percent of uranium-235 in the UO2 fuel. This can be done using the equation: Enrichment (wt%) = mass of U-235 / mass of UO2 x 100%. This value can then be inputted into the MCNP5 input file.
The UO2 enrichment value can be affected by factors such as the type of reactor, desired power output, and fuel cycle plan. These factors can impact the amount of U-235 needed in the UO2 fuel to sustain a chain reaction and produce the desired energy output.
Yes, the UO2 enrichment value can be adjusted during reactor operation. This is known as online enrichment adjustment and is commonly used in reactors to maintain a steady power output and prolong the life of the fuel.
The accuracy of the calculations for determining the UO2 enrichment value depends on the accuracy of the input parameters and assumptions made. It is important to use reliable data and make realistic assumptions to obtain an accurate value.
The UO2 enrichment value does not pose any direct safety concerns. However, it is important to accurately determine this value to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the reactor. An incorrect value could lead to unexpected reactions and potential safety hazards.
