1. NUCLEAR REACTOR
A device in which the energy released by the fission of nuclei of uranium or another element is used to produce steam to run an electrical generator or other device.

FUEL DESIGNING

Why Zircaloy?
04/07/2023 16
The overall PHYSICS aspect of nuclear fuel management is to devise the initial fuel
pattern , its movement and refueling strategies, such that the optimal flux shape in the reactor can be obtained in the initial core and maintained , throughout the operating
life of reactor.

Why of Flux Flattening?
• Total Power Output is Proportional to Average Flux• Increasing the Average flux without increasing the
maximum flux has enormous economical benefits.–Extract more power output without
exceeding Channel and Bundle power limits.

CALANDRIA
It is the heart of reactor and contains fuel and moderator
Contains 306 horizontal calandria tubes made of Zircalloy
Horizontal cylindrical vessel
04/07/2023 21
MODERATOR SYSTEM
•Heavy water is used as moderator.
•For neutron absorption
04/07/2023 22
PHT SYSTEM
PHT ---Primary Heat Transport system
Major components of PHT System-
1. Reactor Fuel Channels
2. Two Inlet Headers
3. Two Reactor outlet Headers
The coolant circulation is mentioned at all times during reactor operation, shutdown & maintenance.
I-131 is fuel performance indicator.
04/07/2023 23
Why Iodine-131 concentration in PHT is mentioned as an indicator of fuel performance?Fission produce no of gaseous fission products namely isotopes of noble gases(Cs, Kr , Xe etc) and Iodine etc. If fuel fails, these fission product come out in coolant surrounding the fuel. The noble gases are volatile products and hence does not remain in coolant. and isotopes of Iodine are non volatile hence they remain dissolved .
Out of all Iodine isotopes I-131 is having enough half-life and fission yield. So that it can survive it’s passage from fuel-clad gap to coolant to detection system and reach the detection system in enough amount to be detected.
Hence if I-131 concentration in PHT is found more than a certain value (Usually 2 micro curie) and found to have a increasing trend in subsequent reading ,it is the indication of the presence of failed fuel in core.

REACTIVITY CONTROL MECHANISM
Regulating rods
Shim rods
Adjuster rods for xenon override
Natural boron addition in the moderator to compensate for the excess reactivity in a fresh core & for absence of xenon after a long shutdown

Cobalt - 60 is used in many fields. These are:-
1) Food irradiation
2) Treatment of cancer through radiation
3) Sterilization of medical products
4) Vulcanization of rubber latex

What I learnt
Instead of technical knowledge what I learnt was how hard a job is..
1. Get ready at 10 am
2. Catch your bus
2. Get your lunch at canteen
3. Get your bus on time
4. After full day of work 10am -5am, this seems my day was something worth for.
