  • 원자로(TRIGA MARK-II)노심의 특정위치에서 0.5 Mev 이상의 고속중성자 스펙트럼을 발단검출기(Threshold detector)를 사용하여 실험적으로 측정하였다. 발단검출기의 실험적인 방사화자료로서 결정되는 일련의 적분방정식에 대한 근사해를 얻기 위하여 최소자승법의 개념을 이용한 급수전개법을 사용하였다. 상이한 가중함수 (weighting function)를 사용하므로서 해답에 미치는 영향을 각측정에서 분석 검토하였다. 이방법의 사용에 관련되는 수치계산을 수행하기 위하여 UNIVAC 1106전자계산기를 위한 계산코드를 준비하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 미분적 고속중성자 스펙트럼은 독립적으로 다군 수송이론에 의하여 얻은 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

  • Nuclear data (ND) sensitivity and uncertainty (S/U) quantification in shielding applications is performed using deterministic and probabilistic approaches. In this paper the validation of the newly developed deterministic program package ASUSD (ADVANTG + SUSD3D) is presented. ASUSD was developed with the aim of automating the process of ND S/U while retaining the computational efficiency of the deterministic approach to ND S/U analysis. The paper includes a detailed description of each of the programs contained within ASUSD, the computational workflow and validation results. ASUSD was validated on two shielding benchmark experiments from the Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive and Database (SINBAD) - the fission relevant ASPIS Iron 88 experiment and the fusion relevant Frascati Neutron Generator (FNG) Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) Test Blanket Module (TBM) mock-up experiment. The validation process was performed in two stages. Firstly, the Denovo discrete ordinates transport solver was validated as a standalone solver. Secondly, the ASUSD program package as a whole was validated as a ND S/U analysis tool. Both stages of the validation process yielded excellent results, with a maximum difference of 17% in final uncertainties due to ND between ASUSD and the stochastic ND S/U approach. Based on these results, ASUSD has proven to be a user friendly and computationally efficient tool for deterministic ND S/U analysis of shielding geometries.

  • The criticality analysis of VVER-1000 mock-up benchmark experiments from the LR-0 research reactor operated by the Research Center Rez in the Czech Republic has been conducted with the MCS Monte Carlo code developed at the Computational Reactor Physics and Experiment laboratory of the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology. The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the newest ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data library against the VVER-1000 mock-up integral experiments and to validate the criticality analysis capability of MCS for light water reactors with hexagonal fuel lattices. A preliminary code/code comparison between MCS and MCNP6 is first conducted to verify the suitability of MCS for the benchmark interpretation, then the validation against experimental data is performed with both ENDF/B-VII.1 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 libraries. The investigated experimental data comprises six experimental critical configurations and four experimental pin-by-pin power maps. The MCS and MCNP6 inputs used for the criticality analysis of the VVER-1000 mock-up are available as supplementary material of this article.

  • A tubular reactor model represented by partial differential equations was studied as one of nonlinear distributed parameter optimal control problems. An optimal control theory in the form of maximum principles based on nonlinear integral equations was used to develop an algorithm to solve the problem.
