Assessment of AmBB performances in fast reactors

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Studies were performed on the AmBB (Americium Bearing Blanket) transmutation performances in the 1500 MWth ASTRID reactor. After validating the capabilities of the high fidelity PROTEUS code for the calculation of pin-wise flux/power profiles in radial blanket assemblies, different transmutation strategies were analyzed based on the AmBB concept. Particularly, the option was investigated of adding small quantities of fissile material to the AmBB fuel or loading moderator pins in the blanket assemblies.
