Abstract
These are the first detailed high-fidelity heat deposition analyses for the High Flux Isotope Reactor's highly enriched and low-enriched core models with explicit fuel plate representation. These analyses are used to compare heat distributions obtained for both fuel designs at the beginning and end of the reactor cycle, and they are essential for enabling comprehensive thermal hydraulics and safety analyses that require detailed estimates of the heat source within all of the reactor's fuel element regions.
