چکیده

The 2003-2004 activity of Reactor Integral Test WG under Subcommittee on Reactor Constants of Japanese Nuclear Data Committee will be presented. During this period, the WG carried out integral tests of JENDL-3.3, ENDF/B-VI and JEFF 3.0 for reactor applications. Some results of integral tests for other latest libraries, JEFF-3.1, ENDF/B-VII, etc. will be also presented. Nuclear Data Library in Design Calculation Go HIRANO TEPSYS, 2-37-28 Reitai, Koto-ku, Tokyo, 135-0034 Japan The characteristics of the lattice codes used for the core design calculation of light-water reactors in Japan are reported from the viewpoint of nuclear data library. At the time of the light-water reactor introduced into Japan, various technologies including the lattice code were also introduced from the nuclear fuel vender such as W.H. or GE. Those lattice codes are based on ENDF/B-4/5 library. They have been constantly improved, and are widely used for the commercial core design. Decades have passed since the introduction of initial lattice codes, and domestic venders are currently developing next generation's lattice codes. Some domestic venders have started employing JENDL series (3.2/3.3) as one of the main nuclide data besides ENDF series. Besides the nuclear data library, the current methodologies of energy groups and resonance calculation will also be reported. Present Status of CENDL Project Yu Hongwei China Nuclear Data Center China Institute of Atomic Energy Chinese Nuclear Data Committee assumes responsibility the management of CENDL project. CENDL is carried out by China Nuclear Data Center and China Nuclear Data Network. From 1996 to 2001, we have completed the evaluation of CENDL-3.0, total 209 nuclides are include CENDL-3.0. The fission product nuclide file of CENDL-3 has been officially released on October 6, 2001, the other file of CENDL-3.0 have been tested and improved for the problems found in the test within china. The next release version of CENDL is CENDL-3.1 library. The evaluation for special purpose file was continued . In order to satisfy the need of ADS project of China, a code MEND for calculating the nuclear data in medium energy region has been developed, some nuclear data have been calculated and

Radiation protection potential of MOX-fuel doped with 231Pa and Cs radioisotopes.

The paper addresses the problem of MOX-fuel self-protection during full cycle of MOX-fuel management. Under conditions of the closed LWR cycle the proliferation-resistance levels were evaluated for fresh and spent MOX-fuel with 231Pa and Cs feed. As it follows from the paper results, combination of these two admixtures being doped into MOX-fuel is able to enhance the inherent radiation barrier ...

Analysis of Mass Flow and Cost for Double - Strata Fuel Cycle

In this study, the mass flow in double-strata nuclear fuel cycle is analysed based on mass inventory balance model, and the cost evaluation is carried out. As the commercial reactor fuel cycle, which is assumed to be sustainable in a significantly long term, the following different reactors and fuel cycles are considered: (1) Scheme of light water reactor (LWR-UOX and -MOX) based on sea water u...

Public Health Risks of Substituting Mixed-Oxide For Uranium Fuel in Pressurized- Water Reactors

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a contract to the consortium Duke Cogema Stone and Webster (DCS) to dispose of up to 33 tonnes of excess weapons-grade plutonium (WG-Pu) by irradiating it in the form of mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in four U.S. commercial pressurized-water reactors (PWRs). This paper estimates the increase in risk to the public from using WG-MOX at these reactors and f...

Highly Nonlinear Dual Core Photonic Crystal Fiber with Low Confinement Loss at 1.55μm Wavelength

A novel design of Dual-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (DC-PCF) with silica-air microstructures is proposed in this paper. Nonlinearity and confinement loss of DC-PCF are evaluated by using a Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM) successfully. By optimizing the geometry of three ring DC-PCFs, a high nonlinearity (52w-1km-1) and low confinement loss (0.001dB/km) can be achieved at 1.55μm wav...
