Abstract

ABSTRACT
PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF THE UNBALANCED LOAD DETECTION SYSTEM IN THE
RSG-GAS REACTOR. RSG-GAS reactor has 4 detectors at the corner outside with the
main purpose to detect non-symmetric power distribution in the core. If the limit of the
unbalanced load factor of 16% is exceeded, the reactor should be scrammed. The objective
of this research is to determine the unbalanced load factor which expresses the symmetricity
of neutron flux distribution during one operational cycle. The core calculation was carried out
by the 2-dimensional multigroup neutron diffusion code, BATAN-EQUIL-2D, using X-Y
geometry model. The calculation results showed that the unbalance load detection system in
the RSG-GAS has a high unbalanced load factor in the range 144% - 147%. The high factor
because one of the detectors (JKT03 CX821) is too closed to the beryllium block reflector
compared to the three other detectors. Therefore, the unbalanced detector system in RSGGAS
reactor should be adjusted to express the symmetricity neutron flux distribution in the
core.
Keywords: unbalanced load, neutron flux, neutron diffusion method, RSG-GAS reactor,

ABSTRAK
ANALISIS AWAL SISTEM DETEKSI BEBAN KETIDAK-SEIMBANGAN DI REAKTOR
RSG-GAS. Reaktor RSG-GAS memiliki 4 detektor di sudut teras dengan fungsi utama
mendeteksi ketidak-seimbangan daya di teras. Jika batas faktor ketidak-seimbangan
sebesar 16% dilampaui, maka reaktor harus dapat dipadamkan. Tujuan utama penelitian ini
adalah menentukan faktor beban ketidak-seimbangan yang menyatakan simetrisitas
distribusi fluks neutron selama beroperasi satu siklus. Perhitungan teras dilakukan dengan
paket program metode difusi neutron banyak kelompok dalam 2-dimensi, BATAN-EQUIL-
2D, dalam model geometri X-Y. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa faktor beban
ketidak-seimbangan dalam rentang 144% - 147%. Nilai faktor yang tinggi disebabkan salah
satu detektor (JKT03 CX821) berada pada posisi yang terlalu dekat dengan reflektor
berilium. Oleh karena itu, sistem deteksi ketidak-seimbangan di RSG-GAS harus diatur
untuk dapat menggambarkan distribusi fluks neutron yang simetris di teras.
Kata kunci: beban tidak-setimbang, fluks neutron, metode difusi neutron, reaktor RSG-GAS,
