| Abstract: | The neutron energy
spectra have been calculated in the fuel region, inner and outer irradiation
sites of the zero power research reactor using the MCNP-4C code and the combination of
the WIMS-D/4 transport code for generation of group constants and the
three-dimensional CITATION diffusion code for core analysis calculations. The
neutron energy spectrum has been divided into three regions and compared with
the proposed empirical correlations. The calculated thermal and fast neutron
fluxes in the low power research reactor MNSR inner and outer irradiation sites
have been compared with the measured results. Better agreements have been
noticed between the calculated and measured results using the MCNP code than
those obtained by the CITATION code. |
