Как выбрать гостиницу для кошек

The previous reactor is very simple; a more realistic configuration consists of replacing the homogeneous core by a core with fuel rods in a moderator. Each rod has a radius of 0.5 cm. The core will then be filled by a square lattice. In order to satisfy the moderator/fuel volume ratio, the side of each square is 1.98 cm. Of course, it is not possible to describe each small cell. But it is possible to define a lattice (hexagonal or hexahedra). One has to define a mesh (the hexahedra or the hexagon) and two universes: a universe is either a lattice or a collection of cells; it defines different ‘geometry levels’ (somewhat like Russian dolls).

The geometry is shown in figure 5.5. In this example, the core is a cylinder filled with universe 1 (cell 4, the fill card = 1). This universe is defined in cell 5 (u = 1). Cell 5 is filled with universe 2 (fill = 2) with a hexahedron lattice (lat = 1); the hexahedral mesh is defined by the planes 21 to 24. Universe 2 is defined as cells 6 and 7 (u = 2).
The keff of the heterogeneous reactor is keff = 1.050 ± 0.001, which is higher because the flux is slightly more thermal (self-shielding of uranium capture) than in the homogeneous case.
