Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that the current status of neutronics calculations for fast reactor design is such that present uncertainties on nuclear data should still be significantly reduced, in order to get full benefit from advances in modeling and simulation. Only a parallel effort in advanced simulation, in high accuracy validation experiments and in nuclear data improvement will provide designers with more general and well validated calculation tools to meet tight design target accuracies to further improve safety and economics. The present paper presents very recent results related to nuclear data uncertainty impact assessment, as a new step in the frame of an international activity, sponsored by OECD-NEA.

Book Synopsis Study of the Sensitivity of Calculations for Fast Reactors Fueled with P239-U238 and U233-Th to Uncertainties in Nuclear Data by : A. Gandini
Download or read book Study of the Sensitivity of Calculations for Fast Reactors Fueled with P239-U238 and U233-Th to Uncertainties in Nuclear Data written by A. Gandini and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of uncertainties of nuclear data on the calculation of integral quantities for some fast breeder systems were evaluated. The integral quantities chosen were reactivity, initial breeding ratio, and initial internal breeding ratio. The fuels chosen were plutonium-239-uranium-238, both as metal and oxide, and uranium-233-thorium as oxide. The importance of propagation of errors on the uncertainty in reactivity was determined. Results indicated that because of inaccuracies in the values of nuclear parameters as known within the present state of the art'' the deviations of the calculated reactivities should be about, and possib1y larger than, 2% DELTA k/k for all the medium and large systems considered. The deviation of the initial breading ratio is 3.5%, and for the initial internal breeding ratio it is about 5%. The consequent uncertainty in the calculated critical mass is of the order of 4%.

Book Synopsis International Benchmark Activity in the Field of Sodium Fast Reactors by : Domenico De Luca
Download or read book International Benchmark Activity in the Field of Sodium Fast Reactors written by Domenico De Luca and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global interest in fast reactors has been growing since their inception in 1960 because they can provide efficient, safe, and sustainable energy. Their closed fuel cycle can support long-term nuclear power development as part of the world,Äôs future energy mix and decrease the burden of nuclear waste. In addition to current fast reactors construction projects, several countries are engaged in intense RD and innovation programs for the development of innovative, or Generation IV, fast reactor concepts. Within this framework, NINE is very actively participating in various Coordinated Research Projects (CRPs) organized by the IAEA, aimed at improving Member States,Äô fast reactor analytical simulation capabilities and international qualification through code-to-code comparison, as well as experimental validation on mock-up experiment results of codes currently employed in the field of fast reactors. The first CRP was focused on the benchmark analysis of Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) Shutdown Heat Removal Test (SHRT-17), protected loss-of-flow transient, which ended in the 2017 with the publication of the IAEA-TECDOC-1819. In the framework of this project, the NINE Validation Process,Äì developed in the framework of NEMM (NINE Evaluation Model Methodology) ,Äì has been proposed and adopted by most of the organizations to support the interpretation of the results calculated by the CRP participants and the understanding of the reasons for differences between the participants,Äô simulation results and the experimental data. A second project regards the CRP focused on benchmark analysis of one of the unprotected passive safety demonstration tests performed at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF), the Loss of Flow Without Scram (LOFWOS) Test #13, started in 2018. A detailed nodalization has been developed by NINE following its nodalization techniques and the NINE validation procedure has been adopted to validate the Simulation Model (SM) against the experimental data of the selected test. The third activity deals with the neutronics benchmark of China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) Start-Up Tests, a CRP proposed by the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) launched in 2018 the main objective of which is to improve the understanding of the start-up of a SFR and to validate the fast reactor analysis computer codes against CEFR experimental data. A series of start-up tests have been analyzed in this benchmark and NINE also proposed and organized a further work package focused on the sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of the first criticality test. The present chapter intends to summarize the results achieved using the codes currently employed in the field of fast reactor in the framework of international projects and benchmarks in which NINE was involved and emphasize how the application of developed procedures allows to validate the SM results and validate the computer codes against experimental data.
Book Synopsis Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Nuclear Data for the Metallic-Fueled ABR-1000 Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor by : Jun Shi
Download or read book Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Nuclear Data for the Metallic-Fueled ABR-1000 Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor written by Jun Shi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1000 MWt Advanced Burner Reactor (ABR-1000) is a concept of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) developed at Argonne National Laboratory for the study of future reactor designs under the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) program. It was investigated within the OECD/NEA Working Party on Reactor Systems (WPRS) under the Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor core Feed-back and Transient response (SFR-FT) task force benchmark, which was completed in 2014. The results revealed that different nuclear data libraries contribute to the large discrepancies in some calculated neutronic parameters. This task force is followed up by another on-going OECD/NEA WPRS activity entitled as SFR Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling (SFR-UAM). In order to further investigate the properties of the ABR core, the impact of nuclear data uncertainties on the performance of a SFR is analyzed in detail in this master thesis using a "Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty" (BEPU) approach along with the nuclear data from the ENDF/B-VII.1 library. Several computer codes, including MC2-3, TWODANT, DIF3D, REBUS-3, PERSENT, DPT, and SAS4A/SASSYS-1, were used in this study. Significant uncertainties on neutronic parameters (e.g., sodium density coefficient, sodium void coefficient, structure density coefficient, Doppler coefficient) are found due to nuclear data, but thanks to the excellent reactor design, the margins to sodium boiling and fuel melting during the accidents are still large even if these non-negligible nuclear data uncertainties are considered.
