Neutron flux calculations on fast breeder reactors with the DLS program

Conference · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society; (United States)
OSTI ID:6933913

The DLS program has been developed at Interatom to solve shielding problems on fast breeder reactors (FBRs) easily and economically. An important option of this code is the use of diffusion theory in material-filled regions and the line-of-sight method in cavities. The geometry is modeled in r-z coordinates. The code was applied in shielding calculations for the first German fast research reactor KNK and the German prototype FBR SNR-300. The DLS program is currently being used in the shielding work for the European Fast Reactor (EFR), which is a project involving several European partners. The development of all national projects are included in the layout of the EFR, mainly the Superphenix (France), the Prototype Fast Reactor (United Kingdom) and the SNR (DeBeNe).
