Abstract
Lead208-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE)- cooled reactor is one of the Generation IV reactors. The fourth-generation has several objectives: economic competitiveness, inherent safety, minimize radioactive waste, and non-proliferation. Modified CANDLE burnup scheme is one solution to fulfil these objectives. The scheme does not need fuel enrichment and reprocessing Pu from LWR. Lead208-Bi eutectic was employed as a coolant of the reactor due to its low neutron absorption cross-section. However, However, it is necessary for surveying the neutronic core design. In this study, we compared the core neutronic among the variations of core geometry with equal volume of Pb208-Bi eutectic-cooled Modified CANDLE reactor. The calculation is performed by PIJ and CITATION of SRACs module. The Pancake cylindrical (larger diameter) has the highest K-eff and the lowest-peaking factor among of balance and tall cylindrical.
