In the BN-1200 reactor, the isotopic composition has been found to improve for the further return of plutonium into the thermal reactor, i.e. odd plutonium isotopes increase. The fewer odd plutonium isotopes at the beginning of the BN1200 operating cycle, the greater their increase. It can ...
For this purpose, a precision model of the BN-1200 reactor has been developed using the Serpent Monte Carlo code. The model has been verified against the reference values of the nuclear fuel burnup and breeding ratios. The study has shown that such plutonium can be used in the BN-1200 ...
The results of physical calculations of a BN-1200 reactor core, using fuel elements with gas or sodium sublayer on nitride fuel, are presented.doi:10.1007/s10512-013-9720-0V. A. EliseevL. M. ZaboudkoI. V. MalyshevaV. I. Matveev
The construction of the planned 1,200-MW sodium-cooled BN-1200 fast reactor could begin at the Beloyarsk plant in Russia as early as 2025 and be completed by 2032, Andrey Petrov, general director of Rosenergoatom, Rosatom's subsidiary for domestic nuclear plant management, said in a ...
