Abstract
The reduced enrichment program for JRR-4 has been going on in the Department of Research Reactor. Neutronic calculations using SRAC code system have been carried out in order to evaluate the neutronic characteristics of the core with low enriched uranium silicide fuel. In the calculations, changes of some neutronic characteristics were evaluated by changing the uranium density in the fuel meat. Analysis on the core with high enriched fuel was also performed to compare its characteristics with the silicide core. From these results obtained, it has been found that the uranium density of about 3.8 gU/cm{sup 3} (for the inner plates) is adequate for JRR-4. Some calculations have been done to evaluate the effect of the change of neutron cross section libraries on the calculated results by using the continuous energy Monte Carlo code VIM. Results by VIM code were compared and showed very good agreements with ones by SRAC code. (author).
