Abstract EN
International Reactor Innovative and Secure (IRIS) reactor is a compact power reactor designed with special features.
It contains Integral Fuel Burnable Absorber (IFBA).
The core is heterogeneous both axially and radially.
This work provides the full core burn up analysis for IRIS reactor using MCNPX and WIMDS-D5 codes.
Criticality calculations, radial and axial power distributions and nuclear peaking factor at the different stages of burnup were studied.
Effective multiplication factor values for the core were estimated by coupling MCNPX code with WIMS-D5 code and compared with SAS2H/KENO-V code values at different stages of burnup.
The two calculation codes show good agreement and correlation.
The values of radial and axial powers for the full core were also compared with published results given by SAS2H/KENO-V code (at the beginning and end of reactor operation).
The behavior of both radial and axial power distribution is quiet similar to the other data published by SAS2H/KENO-V code.
The peaking factor values estimated in the present work are close to its values calculated by SAS2H/KENO-V code.
