Abstract
In order to optimize fuel utilization in TRR, the method of fuel management is modified using MCNP-4C code system. An important parameter of fuel management is the uniformity of neutron flux distribution in the core region, which is obtained efficiently in the present strategy. This strategy is based on calculation of position factors and power densities utilizing MCNP simulations. This study shows that the core life time and average extracted burn up of spent fuel elements of TRR are improved significantly.
