An Assessment of Replacing Aluminum Tubes Hosting Nuclear Fuels with Stainless Steel in a Subcritical Nuclear Reactor

This computational study using MCNP5 evaluated the feasibility of replacing 6061-T6 aluminum with 316L stainless steel (SS-316L) for the tubes hosting the uranium slugs in the subcritical nuclear reactor Nuclear Chicago model 9000, thereby contributing to its preservation as a key resource for nucle...
