Abstract
Whilst the importance of leakage in fast reactor cores is well known, a key outcome from this study is the strong influence of leakage on all safety related parameters for the thermal reactor designs considered here with solid moderator material. Thus it seems that safety studies for such small cores should be based on full core calculations instead of the traditional infinite lattice studies for fuel assemblies.
