Uncertainty propagation in nuclear forensics
Uncertainty propagation formulae are presented for age dating in support of nuclear forensics. The age of radioactive material in this context refers to the time elapsed since a particular radionuclide was chemically separated from its decay product(s). The decay of the parent radionuclide and ingrowth of the daughter nuclide are governed by statistical decay laws. Mathematical equations allow ...
متن کاملDimensionality Reduction for Uncertainty Quantification of Nuclear Engineering Models
The task of uncertainty quantification consists of relating the available information on uncertainties in the model setup to the resulting variation in the outputs of the model. Uncertainty quantification plays an important role in complex simulation models of nuclear engineering, where better understanding of uncertainty results in greater confidence in the model and in the improved safety and...
متن کاملUncertainty Quantification and Propagation in Nuclear Density Functional Theory
Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is one of the main theoretical tools used to study the properties of heavy and superheavy elements, or to describe the structure of nuclei far from stability. While on-going efforts seek to better root nuclear DFT in the theory of nuclear forces [see Duguet et al., this issue], energy functionals remain semi-phenomenological constructions that depend on a...
متن کاملNuclear Fuel Safety Threshold Determined by Logistic Regression Plus Uncertainty
Abstract—Analysis of the uncertainty quantification related to nuclear safety margins applied to the nuclear reactor is an important concept to prevent future radioactive accidents. The nuclear fuel performance code may involve the tolerance level determined by traditional deterministic models producing acceptable results at burn cycles under 62 GWd/MTU. The behavior of nuclear fuel can simulat...
متن کاملPolynomial regression with derivative information in nuclear reactor uncertainty quantification
We introduce a novel technique of uncertainty quantification using polynomial regression with derivative information and apply it to analyze the performance of a model of a sodium-cooled fast reactor. We construct a surrogate model as a goal-oriented projection onto an incomplete space of polynomials, find coordinates of projection by collocation, and use derivative information to reduce the nu...
