INDUS-220: Computational Data for a Ceramic-Fuelled Nuclear Reactor Design

Computational codebooks and output data files accompany a manuscript on the pre-conceptual design of the INDUS-220 reactor. The dataset supports the independent reproduction of quantitative results for a 220 MWe integral pressurised water reactor using Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated fuel. It was authored by Shiva Shankar Bugude and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Reproducing neutronic performance calculations based on the reactor design parameters mentioned in the description
• Validating thermal-hydraulic models for an integral pressurised water reactor (iPWR) with FCM fuel
• Screening materials performance for silicon carbide matrix and TRISO particles at 80 GWd/tHM burnup
• Assessing the feasibility of a five-year unrefuelled operation cycle for a reactor targeting inland Indian communities

Strengths

• Includes all computational codebooks and output files necessary for independent reproduction of the manuscript's results
• Focuses on a specific, detailed reactor design (INDUS-220, 629 MWt / 220 MWe) for a defined target community
• Manuscript provides a clear context for the data's purpose and generation method

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect the specific assumptions and biases inherent to the single design study
