Research on application of heterogeneous resonance Integral for double heterogeneous system
The Double Heterogeneous (DH) system, where fuel particles are randomly dispersed in the non-fissile matrix, is challenging for the reactor physics calculation. The Sanchez-Pomraning method accurately handles the DH system, but integrating it into existing reactor physics code requires code development. This study adopts the Sanchez-Pomraning coupled Ultra-Fine-Group (SP-UFG) slowing-down calculation to generate the heterogeneous Resonance Integral (RI) for DH system treatment with simple volume homogenization. Fully Ceramic Micro-encapsulated (FCM) fuel pin-cells and plates with varying configurations are calculated for verification. Effective cross-sections (XSs) and keff calculated by the heterogeneous RI are compared with SP-UFG results. Results show that the maximum bias of XSs and keff caused by the XS biases are less than 5% and 200 pcm, respectively. The maximum bias of keff when compared with Monte Carlo calculated results is −213 pcm, demonstrating that only considering the DH effect in the resonance energy region is acceptable.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
