Abstract

The behavior of five different reflector materials using the System-Integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor (SMART) was investigated to see which material works best as a reflector. The reflector materials used were Copper, Stainless Steel (301), Tungsten, Beryllium Copper, and Tungsten Carbide. A four-assembly model of the SMART was modeled using OpenMC. Different configurations were analyzed.
