RMC均匀裂变源方法及其在堆用蒙特卡罗计算不对称性问题中的应用

RMC Uniform-fission-site Method and Its Application to Asymmetry of Reactor Core Monte-Carlo Computation

  • 摘要: 堆用蒙特卡罗程序(RMC)不断被研发以适应于反应堆大规模精细模拟计算。在临界计算中,反应堆中子注量率、功率密度等分布不均匀导致其统计偏差的波动性增大,进而导致反应堆物理对称区域计算结果出现不对称性。蒙特卡罗堆芯计算不对称性主要由统计方差造成,减小方差波动可降低堆芯计算不对称程度。本工作在RMC临界计算中增加均匀裂变源方法,并对Hoogenboom-Martin基准题进行计算验证。结果表明,改进的方法在降低堆芯方差波动性与低功率区域方差方面效果显著。

     

    Abstract: Reactor Monte Carlo code (RMC) was constantly developed for reactor large-scale precise analog calculation. In criticality calculation, the maldistribution of reactor neutron flux and power density lead to greater volatility in statistical bias, causing asymmetries in the computed results of reactor physical symmetry zones. Computation asymmetries in Monte Carlo codes are mainly caused by statistical variance, which can be reduced through decreasing variance volatility. In this study, uniform-fission-site method was added into RMC criticality calculation, with Hoogenboom-Martin benchmark verified by calculations. The result shows that the modified algorithm can significantly reduce the variance volatility of reactor cores and the variance of low power regions.
