Modeling the effect in of criticality from changes in key parameters for small High Temperature Nuclear Reactor (U-Battery�) using MCNP4C
The neutron transport code, Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) which was wellkown as the gold standard in predicting nuclear reaction was used to model the small nuclear reactor core called �U-battery��, which was develop by the University of Manchester and Delft Institute of Technology. The paper introd...
