Abstract
Comparative study of the conceptual design of Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) core type tall versus pancake based on modified CANDLE-B (MCANDLE-B) burnup strategy has been done. MCANDLE-B is a burnup strategy that utilizes natural uranium or depleted fuel as its input cycle. The conceptual design of a reactor core that compared is the tall cylinder and the pancake cylinder. In this case, the fuel used is U-10%Zr, SS-316 as a cladding material and helium as a coolant. The total volume of the two reactor cores is the same, namely 15.4 m3. SRAC 2K6 software with PIJ and CITATION modules is used to carry out simulations. The PIJ module is used for fuel cell calculations and the CITATION module is used for reactor core calculations. The results of the comparison show that the pancake core allows the reactor core to use fuel with a volume fraction of 50%: 10%: 40%, for fuel, cladding and coolant respectively. The design obtained can be operated for 10 years without refueling.
