  • Abstract
    An educational model of a small compact 4th-generation nuclear reactor is presented for use as an educational model in universities. For the full-scale power reactor of 10 MWe, a Monte Carlo simulation was carried out to determine the fluxes in the core. The reactor is at the stage of commercialization in the near future and presents a promising option for countries like Pakistan where substantial off-grid populations are deprived of electricity from the national grid. It is also a safe nuclear power system free form the past problems of waste handling or proliferation worries.
