Joint NEA project performs high-burnup test
An article in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s July news bulletin noted that a first test has been completed for the High Burnup Experiments in Reactivity Initiated Accident (HERA) project. The project aim is to understand the performance of light water reactor fuel at high burnup under reactivity-initiated accidents (RIA).

A one-dimensional simulation code has been developed for theoretical investigation on radial transport in the Hanbit-device discharges. The radial transport equations of ions, electrons, and neutrals are solved under given power density profile. It is found that the plasma density profile is strongly dependent on the absorbed power density profile of electrons and the temperature profiles are closely related to the neutral density profile.
