Abstract:

The effects of nuclear-data uncertainties on the predictions of the reactor-physics calculations are quantified in this paper. Uncertainty analysis has been applied to the TMI-1 assembly at both Hot Zero Power (HZP) and Hot Full Power (HET) conditions, propagating the nuclear-data uncertainties to the eigenvalue and few-group constants. The statistical sampling method has been applied to the uncertainty analysis for lattice calculations of TMI-1 assembly. The 172-group WIMSD-4 formatted microscopic cross-section library and corresponding cross-section covariance matrices based on the ENDF/B-VII.1 have been generated and applied for the uncertainty analysis. From the numerical results of the uncertainty analysis, it can be observed that the relative uncertainties of the eigenvalue and two-group constants at HFP are a little larger than these at HZP. The v(t) and v(p) covariance matrices of U-235 impact the uncertainty results notably. Both at HZP and HFP, the relative uncertainty of the eigenvalue is about (4.7 +/- 0.09)parts per thousand (applying v(p) covariance of U-235) or (7.1 +/- 0.20)parts per thousand (applying v(t) covariance of U-235); the relative uncertainties of two-group constants vary from about (2.9 +/- 0.06)parts per thousand (for Sigma(t,2)) to (11.9 +/- 0.34)parts per thousand (for Sigma(s,1,2)).
