Advanced Modeling and Simulations for Evaluation of Thermal Neutron Scattering Materials [Slides]

In this presentation, researchers detail tradeoffs between two simulation suites for thermal neutron scattering data. OXLIMAX + MCViNE provide a more accurate elastic peak shape and NJOY + MCNP have more accurate spectra between phonon mode peaks (most likely due to multiple neutron scattering). Additionally, some outstanding issues with MCViNE are noted, including multiple neutron scattering and non-uniform (Q,E) grid for data.

Advanced Modeling and Simulation to Characterize Advanced Boiling Water Reactor Source Terms to Support a Regulatory Approval Pathway for Right-Sized Emergency Planning Zone. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (A-BWR) Project Phase 2

The United States Department of Energy (US DOE) is currently supporting the development of various small modular reactor (SMR), microreactor and advanced reactor designs. These reactors have improved safety features as compared to conventional Large Light Water Reactors (LLWRs), which include features that improve potential reduction of radiological source terms in the event of design and beyond-design basis accidents. Specifically, some reactors feature a relatively smaller containment volume with respect to the available surface area for fission product deposition; these include Integrated Pressurized Water Reactors (iPWRs), such as the NuScale SMR and SMR-type Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) such as General Electric-Hitachi’s BWRX-300 design.
