蒙特卡罗粒子输运程序cosRMC的深穿透屏蔽计算研究

Research on Deep Penetration Shielding Calculation Using Monte Carlo Particle Transport Code cosRMC

  • 摘要: 在核设施的屏蔽计算中,大屏蔽空间的深穿透问题一直是蒙特卡罗程序工程应用的难点之一。本文基于美国NRC发布的NUREG/CR-6115 PWR注量率计算基准题,采用cosRMC参考进行精细建模,并与参考程序的结果进行比较。计算过程中,通过设置栅元重要性来减小方差,提高计算效率。计算结果表明,cosRMC与参考程序在不同穿透深度上的中子通量密度和光子通量密度的相对偏差在±3倍的蒙特卡罗统计误差之内,符合良好,验证了cosRMC在屏蔽计算以及深穿透问题中的正确性。本文还比较了不同电子处理方法对光子通量密度的影响,结果表明,不考虑电子时光子通量密度至少被低估了6%左右,同时cosRMC程序电子处理的厚靶韧致辐射模型的结果与参考程序符合良好。

     

    Abstract: In the shielding calculation of nuclear facilities, the deep penetration in large shielding space has always been one of the difficulties in the application of Monte Carlo program. In this paper, based on NUREG/CR-6115 PWR fluence rate calculation benchmark issued by NRC, cosRMC was used for fine modeling, and the results were compared with those of reference program. In the calculation process, the variance was reduced by setting regional importance to improve the calculation efficiency. The calculation results show that the relative deviations of neutron flux density and photon flux density between cosRMC and reference programs at different penetration depths are within plus or minus three times of the statistic errors, which is in good agreement, and verifies the correctness of cosRMC in shielding calculation and deep penetration problem. The effects of different electron processing methods on the photon flux density were also compared. The results show that the photon flux density is underestimated by at least 6% when electrons are not taken into account, and the thick-target bremsstrahlung model of cosRMC program electron processing is in good agreement with reference program.
