Parameters Calculation of Fuel Assembly With Complex Geometry

The code DRAGON was developed for CANDU reactor by Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal of Canada. In order to validate the DRAGON code’s applicability for complex geometry fuel assembly calculation, the rod shape fuel assembly of PWR benchmark problem and the plate shape fuel assembly of MTR benchmark problem were analyzed by DRAGON code. Some other shape fuel assemblies were also discussed simply. Calculation results show that the DRAGON code can be used to calculate variform fuel assembly and the precision is high.
