Question:
A heterogeneous cylindrical reactor core contains 10,000 fuel rods. The maximum thermal-neutron flux is 10u and the fuel enrichment is 3 percent. The average moderator temperature is 500 F. The fuel pellets are 0.6 in. in diameter. The core is 8 ft in diameter and 20 ft high. Neglecting the extrapolation lengths, calculate the total heat generated in the core in kW(t). Fuel is UO, and moderator is heavy water.
