Three dimensional analysis of temperature effect on control rod worth in TRR

In this paper, three-dimensional neutronic calculations were performed in order to calculate the dependency of CRW on the temperature of fuel and moderator and the moderator void. Calculations were performed using the known MTR_PC computer codes in the core configuration 61 of TRR. The dependency of CRW on the fuel temperature in the range of 20e340
C and the moderator temperature of each control rods were studied.
