core only can attain the critical state at a given time because the assembly is equipped
with a single control mechanism that prevents the simultaneous operation of multiple
cores. Users can select the core that is the most appropriate for their experiments.
Also, a pulsed-neutron source is also installed, which can be used in combination
with the A-core.
Owing to the compatibility of KUCA, a wide variety of research and education has
been performed at the facility. Furthermore, KUCA has been used for the following
research and education activities:
• New reactor concepts
• Thorium-fueled reactors
• Fusion-fission hybrid systems
• Subcritical systems
• Accelerator-driven system (ADS)
• Neutron characteristics of minor actinide
• Experimental education course for students (Ref. [1]).
Experimental and numerical studies on the validation and verification of nuclear
data and nuclear calculation codes and on the development of new detector systems
are also conducted.
