Method for acquiring sensitivity coefficient of important parameter of reactor physical grid computation

Abstract

The invention provides a method for acquiring a sensitivity coefficient of an important parameter of reactor physical grid computation. The method comprises: 1, establishing a computing model for a specific reactor physical computing problem; 2, adopting a subgroup resonance self-shielding method to perform resonance self-shielding computation, establishing a corresponding generalized conjugate equation for a fast group source term, a resonance energy group source term and a resonance self-shielding section, and solving the generalized conjugate equation to obtain a sensitivity coefficient of a resonance self-shielding section; 3, for an important parameter that needs to be computed, establishing and solving the generalized conjugate equation corresponding to the important parameter, so as to obtain an explicit sensitivity coefficient of the parameter; and 4, combining the sensitivity coefficient of the resonance self-shielding section and the explicit sensitivity coefficient of the resonance self-shielding section to obtain an implicit sensitivity coefficient, wherein a total sensitivity coefficient is equal to the sum of the explicit sensitivity coefficient and the implicit sensitivity coefficient. According to the method provided by the invention, the sensitivity coefficient of any parameter that can be represented as a flux or conjugate flux functional can be obtained quickly; an implicit effect is also considered; and thus the sensitivity coefficient is more accurate.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear reactor core design and safety, in particular to a method for obtaining the sensitivity coefficient of important parameters of the reactor physical grid calculation. Background technique [0002] Traditional nuclear reactor design and operation often adopt conservative calculations, or set a large enough safety margin to ensure the safety of the reactor. Although this approach can ensure the safety of the reactor to a certain extent, it loses great economic efficiency. In recent years, there has been an increasing international demand for providing "best estimates + uncertainty" of nuclear reactor safety parameters in the fields of nuclear research, nuclear industry, nuclear safety, and nuclear supervision. [0003] In the analysis of the sensitivity and uncertainty of the reactor physical grid calculation to nuclear data, the sensitivity coefficient calculation is an important part of obtaining the uncertainty o...

Problems solved by technology

However, in many current sensitivity and uncertainty analysis procedures, the implicit sensitivity as an indirect effect is often ignored, and only the explicit sensitivity as a direct effect is considered, which will inevitably introduce certain errors

In addition, the current implicit sensitivity analysis is often based on the relatively simple resonance self-screening method, but
