Abstract
We have studied the core design of neutron transmutation doping (NTD) silicon reactors using material testing reactor (MTR) fuel elements. Silicon ingots are irradiated in the reflector area, outside the core. A large core has a small leakage of neutrons and thus burns fuel efficiently. However, since a large core has less neutron leakage, the irradiation efficiency of neutrons in the reflector area is also lower. We discuss the most efficient design of a reactor core based on our calculations of fuel consumption and level of silicon doping.
