Thermal-hydraulic Assessment of the Proposed NIST Neutron Source Design

October 6, 2023
Author(s)
Anil Gurgen, Abdullah Weiss, Joy Shen
To replace the ageing reactor at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, a new reactor design is proposed, namely the NIST Neutron Source or NNS. The NNS will contain a light-water moderated and cooled core that would serve as a neutron source for a state-of

Quantifying Reactor Power Noise - A Case Study on NIST Research Reactor

May 26, 2023
Author(s)
Anil Gurgen, Dagistan Sahin, James R. Whipple
Water cooled reactors experience reactivity changes when voids are present in the coolant. The fraction of coolant in the core diminutions in the event of boiling, and the reactivity feedback can either be positive due to reducing neutron absorption in the

The NIST Neutron Source, or NNS, is a proposed new research reactor at the NIST Center for Neutron Research to replace the currently operational, but aging, National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR). The NNS is currently in the pre-conceptual design
