The effect of different fuels and clads on neutronic calculations in a boiling water reactor using the Monte Carlo method

Abstract In this study, a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) modeling was done for the reactor core divided into square lattice 8 × 8 type using the Monte Carlo Method. Each of the square lattices in the reactor core was divided into small square lattices 7 × 7 type in groups of four. In the BWR designed i...
