An attempt has been made to derive common grounds by which the two siting policies may be compared to each other. With this aim in mind, the risks to the individual and to the total population around the site have been assessed assuming that the same accident criteria apply for the two different siting policies. The siting policies have also been contrasted with regard to their adequacy in safe guarding the public against accidental events. In the case of the U.K. policy a revised assessment has been carried out by the authors using more up to date data and refined calculations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100094,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nuclear Science and Engineering","volume":"1 4","pages":"Pages 241-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0302-2927(74)90042-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73371970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This linear relationship between α and reactivity extrapolates to prompt critical at <em>α</em> = 0. Departures from this model have been reported by several observers. In assemblies driven by a pulsed neutron source, even when initial transients have been allowed to die away the prompt decay is not always found to be exponential and extrapolation of the relationship between assigned decay constants and reactivity does not always yield prompt critical at <em>α</em> = 0.</p><p>Precise measurements of prompt decay for some VERA assemblies demonstrate the limited range of validity of the point reactor model. The measurements are compared with SWANTIME calculations. This time-dependent code is a multi-group multi-region diffusion theory version of the prompt kinetic equations. Though this treatment is not designed to analyse the decay in simple terms such as a sum of exponential decays, it does show that a softening of the spectrum occurs as the population decays. For this softer spectrum the decay exponent is smaller than for the corresponding steady state calculation and is no longer proportional to reactivity and so cannot be used directly as a measure of the reactivity of a subcritical reactor.</p><p>Reactivities based on the ratio of prompt to delayed contributions to the measured decay agree with those based on conventional period measurements used to calibrate control rods; if a linear relationship is assumed between alpha and reactivity, errors in estimating subcritical reactivities can be as large as 20 per cent. To some extent this also provides a check that the delayed neutron data, in terms of relative abundances and decay constants are adequate for both ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100094,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nuclear Science and Engineering","volume":"1 4","pages":"Pages 265-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0302-2927(74)90044-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82678289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
