熔盐堆钍铀、铀钚燃料循环核数据不确定度分析

Uncertainty Analysis of Nuclear Data for Th-U and U-Pu Fuel Cycles in Molten Salt Reactor

  • 摘要: 反应堆物理设计不确定度是第4代核能系统的QMU(quantification of margins and uncertainties)有效性认证所必须的参数之一,核数据不确定度是其重要来源。基于自主开发的耦合程序BUND(burnup uncertainty of nuclear data),将SCALE程序TRITON和TSUNAMI-3D模块耦合,完成了熔盐堆钍铀燃料循环、铀钚燃料循环核数据引起的有效增殖因数keff不确定度分析,并与ENDF/B-Ⅶ.1协方差数据库计算结果进行了对比。结果显示:初始时刻,两种燃料循环模式下,核数据导致的keff不确定度分别为0.490%和0.582%。随燃耗的增加,核数据引起的keff不确定度增加。寿期末,两种燃料循环模式下,对keff不确定度影响显著增加的反应道分别为239Pu(nubar)、(n,f)、(n,γ)、105Rh(n,γ)、135Xe(n,γ)和234U(n,γ)、143Nd(n,γ)、131,135Xe(n,γ)等。

     

    Abstract: Uncertainty of reactor physical design is one of the necessary parameters for the QMU (quantification of margins and uncertainties) validation of the Generation-Ⅳ nuclear reactors, and uncertainty of nuclear data is an important source. Using BUND (burnup uncertainty of nuclear data) code to couple TRITON and TSUNAMI-3D modules of SCALE code, calculations of uncertainties for the effective multiplication factor keff in the molten salt reactor for Th-U and U-Pu fuel cycles were performed. The results were compared with the calculation results of uncertainty for keff by the covariance data from ENDF/B-Ⅶ.1. It is found that, at the beginning of life, the uncertainties for keff of Th-U and U-Pu fuel cycles are 0.490% and 0.582%, respectively, and they increase with burnup time. At the end of life, reaction channels 239Pu (nubar), (n,f), (n,γ), 105Rh (n,γ), 135Xe(n,γ) and 234U (n,γ), 143Nd (n,γ), 131,135Xe(n, γ) are significant for keff uncertainties of U-Pu and Th-U fuel cycles.
